he was talking about their reference to the ZR1 time…not comparing the two

why are you comparing the panamera to the ZR1? ZR1 competes with 911's.

3 seconds on an 8 minute lap doesnt matter…especially for these cars. You could easily attribute the difference to the drivers, weather conditions or tires etc etc…

i agree its not factual do to the lack of evidence. it probably should have been worded better to point out that its an unofficial time…however the ZR1's 7:29 time was just by an engineer on a quick hot lap…so it does seem probable that magnussen could pull off 7:26.4 pretty handily

” Nonetheless, that’s still a bit slower than the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1’s 7:26.4.” Chevrolet has never officially sanctioned this ZR1 time, so why keep putting it up as factual?

it better beat it at twice the price…impressive accomplishment for a 4-door though no doubt

kudos to cadillac too though for giving PORSCHE something to shoot at…

Wow, if this turns out to be true that is quite an accomplishment. Gotta hand it to Porsche.
