:what:

Porsche released a video of its 911 Carrera S lapping the Nürburgring last month, and with a time of 7:37.9, the quintessential sports coupe continues to impress. With Timo Kluck behind the wheel, this Carrera S posted better times around the 'Ring than the 997 911 Turbo and, according to PorscheBoost, it even knocked a full two seconds off the time the Carrera S recorded last year.

The run took place on August 28, but Porsche only published the video this week. After checking recorded lap times posted on Wikipedia, the 911's run was faster than independent tests of the Lexus LFA, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Nissan GT-R and Ferrari 458 Italia (which all posted times of 7:38). That's good company if you ask us.

:what: damn

civicdrivr 10-07-2012 04:38 PM

Nissan is claiming Porsche tuned the car on unicorn jizz to eek out some more power. They are adamant that the GT-R is still the king of the 'Ring. They plan on returning next month with the all new 2014 GT-R Nismo Super GT3 Spec-V.

CLtotheTL32 10-07-2012 04:41 PM

The GT-R is almost 800 pounds heavier than a 991 :shrug:

civicdrivr 10-07-2012 04:51 PM

The joke.























You.

CLtotheTL32 10-07-2012 05:20 PM

I hope James May reviews the new GT-R Spec-V Nurburgring Edition.

Aman 10-07-2012 10:26 PM

I was referring to the Nissan/Porsche "feud" from a few years ago. I think Porsche was saying Nissan cheated, :blahblah:

New plugs, Air filter, fuel filter maybe? :dunno:

Would any of you buy a newer 2010+ VW based on their reliability history?

I've always itched for GTI.

I've grown tired of my MS3, so I'm considering a newer GTI or Golf TDI.

RPhilMan1 10-08-2012 09:17 AM

Spotted this nice Diablo this morning. I've seen him around in the area.

I want to stay under 13k. My wife is pretty set on the another Trailblazer. You saw the pictures. It can defiantly take a hit. I liked it as well. Good size for her and plenty of room. I get a good hook up through work. I actually paid the same amount 3 years ago as the insurance is giving me back.

I hate GTI's. They are so played out around here.

charliemike 10-08-2012 11:06 AM

I have a 2009 VW Jetta wagon with 62000 miles. No problems other than I hate the 2.5L five cylinder. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Mk6.

crazyasiantl 10-08-2012 12:07 PM

I love GTIs, I don't think anybody in town has one. That's how its been with all my cars..nobody had a modded 2G, nobody has a MS3, and nobody has a newer GTI or golf.

I want the GTI for a somewhat fun car still, but I'm considering the Golf TDI just because I drive so much. Its mileage may have some benefit.

charliemike 10-08-2012 02:27 PM

I would say you would be at least 10mpg to the good on the diesel on the highway.

Sounds like $60 a month with the miles you do.

Keep in mind the Golf TDI is essentially a GTD which is sort of a diesel GTI. The Jetta isn't/wasn't.

According to R&T, VW is considering bringing the actual GTD to the States.

I saw that. I think they should. With the 170hp engine :)

done, done, and no.... My thinking is i drive in D4 in the city and sometimes thats driving 45-55 which could drop to fifth gear. Probably has something to do with it. My city mpg is really low.

I think i would trust VW more now. Not saying that expect it to be honda. But it's for sure not the old VW and I wouldnt mind buying one.
