~20 seconds behind the Nissan GT-R and ~40 behind the Porsche 918.

sounds pretty healthy. I saw 7K on the tach-o-meter a few times and 160 mph on one section.

I saw 161 mph after the long stretch near then after it crested the hill and made a slight left to head back down a hill. I saw 157 mph on some sections and it had no more power left as they're slight uphills. I read it has shorter gearing than normal (normal Camaro?) and has options deleted. Impressive, but far from what I'd spend my money on.

on comp tires"thumbsup":mrgreen:
fine print states they were runnin micholin pilots, not stock tires;-)

I think the Camaros time was pretty good for stock tires, a wet/cold day, and 3800 lbs. also down ~45hp on the GT-R.

not takin anything away from those performance monsters."thumbsup"

anyone else think it was weird he seemed to "lift" at 158-160mph mark? lots of straight left and no acceleration.

and Porsche also points out that the time were set using the standard Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, rather than any trick slicks.

Granted it's got a BIT more power than either of the other cars mentioned.

Nissan says Dunlop slicks made for the car, as Porsche seemed happy to point out in the quote above.

I very much doubt the driver was lifting at ~157, but more like it ran out of power. As I mentioned those sections are uphills.

I noticed it a bit at the end of the lap when he hit the rain. You could hear the engine rev up a bit when the car would get "light" over a hill.
