[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16235364, member: 159453"] That's not really the point that he brought up, at least how I see it. You can read it how you want, but it was being used as a comparison against other cars. I don't doubt that the hellcat can throw down a decent lap, I've been on track with more than a few of them. Again, not the point I was trying to make. This is a poor tool to use as a comparison for lap times. That curbing was added in like 2010 or something and they ended up widening and repaving the track in 2014 and repaving it again like 2 years later. They smoothed out a lot of bumps in the turns which, especially for non-race cars, are a huge deal. I can't remember the specifics, but nearly the entire field in GTLM broke the previous lap record after the repaving. And again, I'm not talking down the performance of the Challenger on this. I believe this is an inconsistent metric to compare cars, regardless of what cars we are talking about. I was saying this exact same thing when the Focus RS (when I owned one) wiped the floor with the STI by like 14 seconds on this track after it was repaved, I knew it was BS. Ring times are even less reliable. [/QUOTE]
