There was an independent test done for the C6 Z06 that was low 7:50s and the car was ran stock. This time is probably more accurate than what we saw from Chevy's "special" test car.

i don't believe that 50 horsepower, 45 more lb-ft of torque and 300 pounds less will only get 3 seconds better. I understand how long three seconds is, but the gt2 is a whole different animal.
PS, if you count the way you described, the TT would be four seconds slower.
Okay, my misunderstanding. a 7:37 from a 7:54 is more of the difference i was expecting. who knows, these are the times i was using

whatever, anyway, yay for the gt2. it'll be an amazing car no matter what times it puts down at nordschleife.

You are correct, I assumed that you would know to stop and see the TT coming in at the 3,1000 mark.
50HP and 300 lbs will not get you much better at a 7-8 minute track, either way you slice it the GT2 is and always be the "real" Porsche 911Turbo and what the turbo was from the original concept. By my standards anyway, I dont mean to knock the 996/997TT in any way shape or form as I have had them just favor the GT2 over them in any light.
