King of the ring...or not?



So this is kind of amusing: Corvette posted a 7min.19 sec. lap of the Nürburgring with the 2012 ZR-1, an awesome lap time from a special car. Porsche had previously claimed 7 min. 18 sec. for their GT2RS. Both cars are on semi slick Michelin Pilot Cups but Dale for one is declaring the Vette king. Why?
Porsche never released a video on YouTube and as we all know if it ain't on YouTube it never happened!
What do you think? Check out the video over on Dale's BTG

  1. What happened to not caring about published Ring times?

  2. The problem is the Vette looks like a cartoon banana whereas the Porker looks like art on wheels. Chevy seriously need to hire a new designer as the car is obviously brutally fast. Anyone clocked an MP4-12C yet???

  3. When McLaren went there to film their fast lap. They crashed!

    I'm a big fan of Porsche, but their marketting department needs a kick in the ass! Their CarreraGT time was Rohls "estimate" so they really need to start filming these fast laps. Of course if the car couldn't do the times they claim...

  4. Hey, if Porsche had done it, there'd be a video. That's my opinion.

  5. We all know the only video Porsche will provide is their "proof" that the Corvette only does the 'Ring in 7:58.
