That's actually amazing.
>>13967649
Nissan have a long reputation for cheating though. I'd be more inclined to believe the BMW's time
BMW's naming system used to be so good. Now they've lost their goddamn minds. And dont even get me started on those X series abominations.
>>13967675
Really any 'ring time is most likely slightly stretched or non -standard car, it's like having a world's strongest man contest where people mail in how much they can bench.
>>13967635
Junk
Did they run out of metal in Germany and have had to resort to beating the aluminum from 90's murrikan cars into something vaguely resembling a BMW?
>>13967683
I dunno, Lambo explicitly stated their time was set on special tyres.
Ferrari have a Nissan tier reputation. Ford too, amongst the UK auto media.
Porsche are notorious for just handing the keys over to the tester and letting them get on with it.
I'd say Porsche strive to prepare every single car to the same standard as that what they'd wish to be written about by a journalist.

7:28 is mclaren p1 tier
for a sports coupe its pretty epic
imagine what a bmw supercar would be like
>>13967737
>7:28 is mclaren p1 tier
No it's slower than Enzo/Carrera GT/Zonda S tier
>>13967675
Holy fuck I just remembered porsche's massive asshurt when the gtr made that initial time claiming they were cheating because ''n-no way a jap car can beat our beloved 911 even though 2 american pieces of shit already did before hand''
Proof that benchracing transcends /o/
>>13967901
The more car sites I visit, the more I see that benchracing and outdated opinions is a fact of life throughout all the car communities.
>>13967675
Citation fag
>>13967635
Is that how long it takes for it to break down?
>>13967914
What like "2 american pieces of shit" couldn't be faster than anything Japanese around at the time?
>>13968073
Japs are scientifically proven to be subhuman, cheating is one of their traits.

Horst Von Saurma, Ring specialist who always bested manufacturers numbers, versus Suzuki, a meh race driver who had been on the Ring for 3 months.
>>13967874
the carrera gt is actually slower than the bmw
LESS THAN SEVEN MINUTES AROUND THE BURGERKING
>>13968329
I've got the Issue of Evo mag where they did that test, Marc Basseng reckoned he could get another 3 or 4 seconds out of the cars but they ran out of time (think it was a about 5 laps per car).
Also, the Enzo did half the lap with a broken rear shock absorber.
>>13968345
Damn 7 minutes around Burger King thats pretty damn slow m8
I can do it in 20 seconds. With a 4 cylinder truck.
>>13967635
I would like to point out the gtr is only 4 secs a lap faster than a 5 yr old snek. Ill bet new snek will crush it yet again.
>>13967901
But why is benchracing a thing in the first place? What is .1 sec going to mean to the average driver?
>>13968663
this snek shit is cringey
>>13971622
If youre not first youre last
>>13971634
reminds me of the dinner queue in prison
>>13968663
4 seconds/lap is a world.
Also note that the gtr is 20 seconds slower than a small volume road legal yurop car that used same wheels for the record lap than the ones it used to came from uk to the burgerking.
So well, snek is fucked, deal with it.
>>13971645
20 seconds a lap can be down to driver or conditions
it's the difference between a manufacturer just going there for a shakedown/internal benchmark and spending 3 months testing and tuning.

Holy shit nigger, what are you doing?
>>13967635
>>13967649
Who cares? Benchracers, that's who.
The new M cars are a disgrace, they're becoming all about muh lap times when they used to be about muh driving experience.
>>13971662
>n/a v8 from decade ago with pushrods
>500/500
which will shit itself after a couple of miles, if anyone has to rethink their engines its GM
>>13971968
We have alpina for driving experience
>>13972093
Alpina makes cushy cars with muh torque. They don't lighten or install manual transmissions.
>>13972008
Why? The engines are good (especially in Cadillac). The cooling just sucks on Chevys.
>>13972008
nah its always the FI models that suck. hence FI sucks.

NOTHING
It means something because obviously that means the car is superior, and anyone who drives a slower car is shit. It doesn't matter that the consumer will NEVER reach the hurrdurrring lap time, not that they'll try, but they'll brag constantly about how their car is the best car in the world.
Interior is shit? Doesn't matter, it's .8 seconds faster around Willow Springs.
I'm tired of benchracing. Not that lap times don't matter at all, but if you're trying to compare two high-end supercars and their times are within a couple seconds, there is no difference for the average (or above average) driver.
Then there's those benchracers who jack off when their civic R is faster than a corvette around a single track. Obviously faster, right?
