OK the viper is BS

dot R compound slicks no radio stripped out

the vette i will say is legit in beating the GTR

and yes you can beat both these cars in a lotus 7 replica
caterham super 7 did it even faster

I started laughing so hard when I saw her passing motorcycles. HAAAAA.

Just imagine... talk about a nut check.

Well, not TOTAL bs, the GTR's RE070s may not be slicks, but they're not that far away. And if you look closely, the Viper driver could have easily, I repeat EASILY, shaved more than a couple seconds of his time. But yes, props to the GTR for beating what is essentially (OK, completely), a track ****. With more power, better suspension tuning and the results of a 300lb diet, the V-Spec ought to make the ZR1's time look like GM was out on a Sunday Cruise.

RE070 compared to R compound is easily 5-10 seconds slower given that the track is like 8 minutes long, okay, 7 minutes.

I thought the LFA was supposed to be the New Supra? Are they going to be 2 different cars or is it just going to be a Toyota Supra in Japan & maybe R.O.W. while the LFA will be the Lexus version in the United States?
