Nurburgring lap time under 7?

Someone in passing just told me someone lapped it under 7 min today. Had no details though.

Hmmm

I think one of the hardcore Pagani Zondas can run it under 7...

Interesting... still trying to figure out the details.

Where they talking about Forza on the XBox?

I think the 599xx is still the only 'road car' under 7m at the 'Ring so far...and that was last year. I remember at least one road bike doing it as well.

Anything that can do it under 7 is not going to be a car that you'll want to drive on the street much. To get that time it comes down more to suspension than power, and it'll have to be something pretty damn stiff to make that time.

What is the Veyron's time around the Ring?

EDIT: Google says the time is 7:40. Zonda F in 7:22.

The Veyron is too much of a pig (heavy) to be real fast on the twisties.

Here's a vid of the 599xx lap record. Very exciting and masterful.
