    Default 2015 Car&Driver Lightning Lap

    Z-06 destroys everything but the Porsche 918
    CTS-V turns out to be the fastest 4 door they've ever had for LL.

    Performance/dollar it really doesn't get any better than the Mustang GT. Interesting the latest GTI went around faster than the 2015 WRX.

    They need to run a Tesla P85D here...

    Some interesting results. Golf R isn't much faster than the GTI. WTF?

    lol @ Lexus for making a brand new RC F slower than the IS F that it replaced.

    ATS-V Coupe and C63S Sedan are so equal in performance. Will be interesting to see where the C63S Coupe slots in next year.

    AMG GT-S still blows me away with how fast it is. It wanted to beat the 911s at their own game, it sure the hell did a good job of it at a lower price.

    I want a 991 GT3. PDK transformed the car, out right destroys the old GT3 RS.

    Cooling is the problem. The couldn't drive more than 2 mins before the battery overheated and cut power.

    It'll be interesting to see if it could finish a 3+ minute lap.

    Except a 2013 Camaro 1LE is 3.7 seconds faster.

    Makes me wonder what the 16 Camaro will do. Same chassis as the ATS-V with the Lt-1 under the hood. Bet it'll be pretty close to the Z-L1.

    That's a stat that caught my eye as well.

    The 2015 non-RS was roughly 5sec faster than its 2011 RS counterpart. 25 extra HP but still

    That's not apples to oranges with a Mustang GT. May as well wait for the GT350 to take the track if you are going to use the race version of the Camaro as a measuring stick.

    No surprise at all as the GTI is lighter and its power is underrated by VW as that engine is putting out closer to the R engine than the manufacturer specs would have you believe.

    GT350R will compete with the Camaro Z/28 more likely which did a 2:50.9.

    What? The 1LE is an option package just like the track package on a Mustang GT. It doesn't get more apples to apples.

    Except the part about the SS 1LE costing considerably more than a Mustang GT.

    I wonder how the new Camaro will perform compared to the ATS-V coupe since they are on the same platform.
    93 Camaro Z28 (The fast one)
    01 Trans Am WS6 (The cute one)
    Esla T6 Dog Sled (Not cute, not fast, scary as hell)

    Where are you getting your info from? An SS 1LE is about $900 more than a GT w/track pack. $39.7 vs $38.8, not really a considerable difference.

    Until someone brings a 918 and no one wants to bother racing it. The 918 is such a beast.

    Believe me if we had a proper race track there would be cars to compete with a 918.
