I would say that lap time is a little bit too optimistic. Around 8:15-8:20 is more realistic. An E63 M6 and this one are around the same on most tracks. The M6 is probably around 10 seconds quicker at this track.

Yeah, I guess, when you consider the run-flat tires on the Vette and the understeering of the rear-engine platform in the 911. But those cars are still about a second quicker through a 1/4-mile. This one does it in 13.6 on average.
