ok I just did one lap in the CL... ran a 8:44 on Medium (S2) tires. Ran off the road twice but it didn't cost me too much time. 260hp, no mods. I don't think it would be that quick in real life. Here are a group of cars in that range, at the real track:

8:37 --- Honda NSX 3.0 (07/1991)
8:38 --- Honda NSX 3.2 (08/1997)
8:38 --- Mercedes Benz SL500 (12/2001)
8:38 --- Porsche 996 Carrera, 296 PS
8:38 --- Brabus-Mercedes Benz CLK 5.8 (12/1998)
8:39 --- Honda S2000 (01/2000)
8:39 --- Morgan Aero 8 (04/2003)
8:40 --- Holden GTS, on an in and out lap (2000)
8:40 --- Chevrolet Corvette C5 Targa Automatic (07/1997)
8:41 --- Aston Martin DB7 (1999)
8:41 --- Audi S3, 210 PS (06/1999)
8:42 --- Audi S4, 265 PS (08/1998)
8:42 --- Lotus Exige (11/2000)
8:43 --- Honda Integra Type R (12/2000)
8:44 --- Chevrolet Corvette C5
8:45 --- Chevrolet Corvette, 339 PS, automatic
8:46 --- Porsche 993 Carrera S, 285 PS
8:47 --- Honda Civic Type-R, 200 PS (11/2001)
8:49 --- Jaguar XKR Coupe (07/1998)
8:49 --- Renault Clio Sport V6
8:49 --- Audi TT 1.8T quattro Coupé, 225 PS (11/1998)

and the reason the trucks/buses are parked there is cause that part of the track is never run on, thats why you don't see cars flying by in the webcam.... the enterance is before that point and the exit from the "pits" is after that point....and since everyone does 1 lap at a time its never used....

oh really? I thought that was the end of the long straight

and he's talking about the car circled in red, to the right. Both cars in the middle are definitely Alfa's.

if you guys want any other pics of any part of the track just let me know....i cant really get the whole track in view because i have to zoom out so far it would be hard to distinguish what is what.

That's awesome. The last time I checked Nurburgring on Google Earth - when I was mapping out racetracks and other landmarks around the world, it hadn't been mapped out yet. Now it's all there. F'in cool. Thanks man.

tonite im seriously going to figure out how much it would be to go to Germany for a few days and do the "ring." I bet I could do it for under $2000.

ok, i was a little off....These are VERY rough estimates of how much the trip would cost 1 person.

$400 - 3days/nights at hotel/rest. right next to the track.
$1800 - Plane ticket (round trip)
$200 - 8 Laps on the ring
$1000 - 200km rental (Ferrari f355 Spider)
$250 - Alt. car rental.

So I was a little off, but why would you do this alone!

Each person, if 2 went, could do it for $2000 .

well there is a rental place affiliated with the site that hosts the webcam. You can rent enzos, 360s, diablos, gallardos, vipers, etc. The ferrari is surprisingly just as expensive as the viper.....it was a no question for me which one to choose as the the 355 is my ALL TIME fav.car. $1800 air fare was just to germany, i didnt figure out which airport was closest.

When I win the lotto ill fly us both out there, prolly just buy 2 355's as well....i could let you have one
