I happen to be on Wikipedia a few days ago and looked up Nurburgring lap times. I noticed the ZR1 time of 7:22.4 as run by Jan Magnussen in Oct. 08 is not posted. I searched further into the matter and found out some squirrel is disputing the fact! It has been published in several magazines and is noted on numerous websites. What is there to dispute? This is a fact and needs to be placed on the list. Wkikpedia is supposed to be an informational and factual site where people can add to a base of knowledge. I would love to have a bunch a people from this site bombard Wikipedia about this exclusion.

...yeah I jumped in there.
Tired of people dyno racing. Compairing the GT vs ZR1 etc on the dyno. Race them side by side on an air strip and see what happens.

That would be an interesting race.
In stock trim they both have similar 1/4 trap speeds even though the GT is ~200 lb. heavier than the ZR1.
I'm not sure which one is more aerodynamic but it appears as if the ZR1 would have the lower Cd and, therefor, the high speed advantage. BUT this too is not certain since the ~500 lb. heavier 599 GTB Fiorano pulls the ZR1 near 200 mph speeds yet loses to the ZR1 in the 1/4 both in et and trap speed.
Equal mods on both the ZR1 and GT, the GT should win handily.

For once, motortrend likes an AMERICAN vehicle for once.
