That's because nobody has taken a GT2 at the 'ring and realized that it couldn't perform anywhere near what it was suppose to.

Chadillac: ALL timed Nurburgring runs are from a running start. You're taking the quote "Convention dictates that timed laps should be set from a standing start" completely out of context. Porsche starts with a running start, Dodge did with the ACR, GM did. It's the standard. If you're going to bash the time, at least familiarize yourself with how time-attacks are done on the ring.
Do I have to post the entire article? Read it yourself. "ALL timed Nurburgring runs are from a running start." I've never read that. And the article that I just posted stronly disproves that.

Third party track results confirm that it beats the GT2. I guess Top Gear is owned by Nissan? Give it a break.
When did Top Gear time the new GT2? I don't see any time for that car.
