If you're in the percent that doesn't care about it, what needs to stop is the trolling in this thread...
You can mix it up with your 95% commuter buddies, who perhaps are just concerned with gas mileage in another thread...
Some of us track our cars....and the Ring is perhaps the ultimate test/showcase....so, yeah, it's interesting...I hope Ford does well, thatGM re-acts, and we get to see some videos...All good...

oh of course you can discuss it. the point I was making was not to get hung up on it. the time is just a measurement of what THAT driver did in THAT car on THAT day. not what the car can do. I couldn't hit anything close those times because im a regular guy. The average joe that buys cars like this because "OMG it can go so fast at the ring" are the same guys that get passed by a Miata at a track day.
if your a legit racer, sure, the numbers matter. but if your like the rest of us, the number are purely to spark conversation on internet forums and all they do is measure brand loyalty. everyone was so quick to praise the Z/28's lap time, but now that a proposed lap time for the GT350R is out suddenly the ring lap times aren't official.
