I think the laptimes here are not representative of the performance of the car... anyone thinks that this could be as fast as a 997 GT2? or at least close to it (minus the sport cups)

The Zonda 6:48 laptime was driven with a race car(stripped out interior, big roll cage) not a street legal car and they used RACE SLICKS (Pirelli P Zero Slick 265/645-19TL front and 325/705-20TL rear).... we only allow street legal PRODUCTION cars..

Note to self - the Zonda has an AMG Mercedes engine so it too has "German horses" DOH - must be the poor aerodynamics that prevented it hitting 200 MPH - that space age front looks like a poor wind trap...

I loved this car to bits, still do, but lost a fair bit of respect when reading EVO 55. They took a ZOnda S and some other quick cars on an autobahn and it just wouldnt reach 200 MPH. The driver was Andy Wallace, who piloted the Mac F1 to 240.1 MPH, so you cant blame the driver, the Zonda just wouldnt do the biz. The RUF R Turbo however made an easy 200 MPH up a slight incline. As usual, it seems that german horses are a bit larger than ther italian variety!!

There's a pic of the engine. I wonder if 7.3 is the max.

Sure. There were several Brabus cars with this engine bored out to 7.3 before Zonda.

The very first Zonda had a 6.0 with around 400PS, they must have bored it out.

I think (but I am not 100% sure) it's this engine:
