[QUOTE="9746Cobra, post: 5776411, member: 17905"] Found some info from the Nov 2006 Car & Driver. They took 17 cars around VIR. Four drivers each drove four or five cars three to five laps each. Times and speeds were recorded for the Lap and in various sectors of the track. Just to simply for this thread, here are the best times for a few of them. (4.2mi course) Ford GT 3:00.7 Z06 3:01.1 Elise 3:09.2 Corvette 3:09.3 Caymen S 3:09.5 GT500 3:11 350z Track 3:12.5 Evo MR 3:13.5 RX-8 3:19 Cobalt SS 3:20.6 Mustang GT 3:20.6 Mazda Mx-5 3:29.3 So the best time in the 350z was over seven seconds faster than the best time in the Mustang GT. I'd call that a whuppin'. Whats impressive was the GT500 wasn't too far off from the base 'vette. Of course that was these four drivers, on this day, with these tires etc etc. I'm still concerned that my '03 will have me backing off the throttle often to keep it from going into limp. I'm thinking about taking the '97 Cobra instead. 9746C [/QUOTE]
