Juggalo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Found this, thanks to Jetpilots accurate time.

Jetpilot Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 No, lol, i had to look it up but do remember it well as they put the Rx8 round at the same time (same laptime) and i was always interested in rotaries with my Rx7 ownership and found it pretty interesting that is was the same time as the M3 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Civic type R is on there twice!! 1.33.5 and 1.36.5 EDIT: I just thought, that'd be EP3 and FN2 ? Edited December 2, 2015 by Rock_Steady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller350z Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 thats not bad. goes to show the 370 is a decent bit quicker. some of the times are surprising Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I think some of those times are wrong or don't have a "W" next to them? I can't see that a 911 GT3 (Even an old one), is only a few 10th's faster than a 370 or that an M3 CSL is slower? I appreciate that this wouldn't be the same on every track, but both those cars are fairly fast in a straight line and I can't believe the Zed is quicker around corners than those however capable it is. Prepared to be proven wrong though. Edit: No, they were wet or very wet! http://www.topgear.com/show/lap-times Edited December 2, 2015 by Paddy78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Its not really a "track" though, its pretty tight in some parts and doesnt do the uberpower cars any favours. Comparisons done on real circuits are generally a better indicator IME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Indeed, and why the Aerial Atom annihilated everything else - tiny track no half mile straights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
