nothing like the sound of vibrating sheet metal, BOV and 200+ MPH winds on the windshield, lol. I love the part on the back straight way, 200+ MPH with one hand on the steering wheel. That guy has *****.

Straight from his GT1 class victory at Le Mans, Jan Magnusson shortly thereafter at the Nuremburg Ring came up with speed. With the Corvette Z06, should the track record fall – great advertising for the new sports Corvette. However, more than a good 7:40 wasn’t in it. The North Loop record for Series Cars is still held by a Donkervoort RS: 7:18:01.”

And just some other factory car's lap times as a reference...

7:28-7:40 - Porsche Carrera GT with multiple attempts, different drivers and track conditions
7:40 - C6 Corvette Z06 <------
7:40 - Mercedes SLR
7:43 - 996 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
7:43.5 - Lamborghini Murcielago
7:44 - Pagani Zonda C12S
7:46 - 996 Porsche 911 GT2
7:50 - BMW M3 CSL
7:52 - Lamborghini Gallardo
7:56 - C5 Corvette Z06
7:56 - Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
7:56 - 996 Porsche 911 Turbo

Jurgen Alzen and his brother are the ****. That car is so bad ***. AWD 996 GT2. They have a few insane cars as a matter of fact. Including a hand in a 997 Turbo, shooting for 250MPH. Title shot for the worlds fastest street legal car.

The Z06 did a best of 7.42.9 around the ring, by Jan Magnussen (GM Corvette Racing Team Driver).

Awesome video. I must say, though, I still like the BMW M3 GTR Nurburgring video a little better.

That's a big negative. The Porsche did both tracks. Z06 wouldn't touch that by any stretch of the imagination. What that P did in 9 flat is stoopendous! I know I frequent the place all the time.

Hans Stuck is an insane driver. He drove a v12 powered X5 around the ring in 7.49 minutes. Absoloutly rediculous! Theres a video of it kickin' around somewhere.


I was pretty sure Jurgen Alzens' brother held the record for his class on the Nordschleife at 8.09? Not sure if that's still the record.
