Bit conservative. I'd say like 1:23 maybe 1:24? Because this is a 1:28 lol

not sure about 1:23 cuz the dbs did a 1:23.9 and i cant see the 8c being faster on track. 1:24 might be possible tho, 1:24-25 seems do able as the m3 did a 1:25 lap.

I would actually put it really close to a DBS that's about where I was aiming.

About GranTurismo S level but a little higher. Near the bottom rung of what I'd label a modern supercar (DB9, V8 Vantage, R8 4.2-ish)

The 4C does a 1:24.8, and I know for a well fact that despite what the site says, the 8C is genuinely faster. We just don't have the data for it.

good point, the 4c should be slightly slower then this in theory considering the layout of this track imo. i think the problem with the 8c on the tg track was that it was very wet and those old pirelli p zero corsas were dreadful in the wet
