Very impressive. 7:19.6 is a killer time. Your move, Nissan...

On a bank, yes, but is that really 2 g?

Edit: to be clear, a hard-mounted accelerometer is only accurate when the car is level.

Impressive. But in the article it says the 911 gt2 still holds the record.

That's an unverified time, no video has ever been released of it. It is the fastest, but there is zero proof other than Porsche saying they did it. And with how well they documented their other runs vs the gtr, idk if I buy that they did

That's very nice & all, but there's more to what makes a car a great car than a lap time... It would be interesting to see some wet lap times for both cars...& yes, leave the same tires on the car!
