Fastest cars at the Nurburgring you can buy in America

[Mook]

Few issues with this "list". The ACR isnt on it (yes, you can still get it at a dealer). The P1 and the 918 are not even production cars yet...

Other than that, its an interesting to see the numbers side by side.

Ring Leaders: Fastest cars at the Nurburgring you can buy in America - MSN Autos

Known as "The Green Hell," the grueling 12.8-mile Nurburgring racetrack in Germany has become an automotive mecca of sorts. Car companies, car clubs and automotive "buff books" travel to this historic track to set fastest lap times, possibly break records, and earn bragging rights. Since the Porsche 918 Spyder recently set a phenomenal lap time of 6 minutes 57 seconds, we thought we'd tally up the fastest cars around the 'Ring that you can buy from a dealer in the U.S. (Note: Times posted may have been the result of manufacturer-supported teams, while others were pulled from magazine shootouts with maybe a guy checking tire pressure.)

Sucks for Turk. 4 Chevys beat out his car...

 

[BrianG]

I didn't realize the C6Z did that well there!

 

[The Broken Regal]

What about used? Didn't the old cobalt tcSS run it faster than the frs?

 

[Mook]

I think this list is dealer cars.

 

[The Broken Regal]

Obviously yes, but just wondering if someone could compile a list of cars you can buy new or used in america, what they go for and their ring time

 

[Mook]

You can.

 

[The Broken Regal]

It would be complete in 2016







just like my TR

 

[greasy]

Obviously something is very wrong with that list......there are no Fords.

 

[J-LO]

no viper on the list?

 

[wolfe]

Nope a 25k toyota beats it

[The Bluegrass Nomad]

Yes 8:22.85 for the cobalt tc/ss

 

[SLO G 63]

They skipped a bunch of cars it seems

 

[sickmint79]

would be nice to know what tires were on these. 8:22.85 for a cobalt i'm really wondering on that one.

 

[Omicron]

I didn't realize the C6Z did that well there!

pretty sure that was a Z06 Carbon with Michelin cup tires, so closer to 97k vs 76k cost.

Nonetheless, still a serious time. I don't know what it will take to convince the naysayers and nutswingers, but there is no doubt the Z06 and the Nissan GT-R are the true all around street kings around. They're the automotive equivalent of a " win" button

 

[Turk]

My problem with the list is that whoever drove the R8 plus is terrible. The R8 plus actually pulled a worse time than a stock 2009 V10!

 

[Breze84]

Remember, Most of those times were not full track runs because of different starting points at the track... I believe the 7:22 C6Z run was done @ 67,600 ft.. It runs 7.4X full track which is close to 69,000ft long... My old ass C5 Z06 did a 7:56 full track run lol . Its impressive for any car to get under 8 mins full track...

Continental CONTIPROCONTACT's

 

[sickmint79]

all seasons? that is quite a surprising time.

Continental SuperContact2's not the contiprocontacts. The SS's had summer performance tires not all seasons.
