My bad then, but if it ran that time and a CGT was only a couple seconds quicker, I doubt the 600+hp "Blue Devil" will do much better. Cool pics though!

I think the "Blue Devil", if they ever actually do make it, will match or better the CGT's time... the Z06 ran 7:43, the CGT ran 7:32. There are many parts of Nurburgring where HP pays off.

Blue Devil should be faster than anything produced at the NRing.

IMHO, The Ring looks better in PGR2 and Forza (XBOX). But, it's truly a great track and I hope to visit it one day.....to at least just to see it.

But the GT4's version is the most accurate one. Confirmed by many Forza fans.

....didnt say it was the most accurate....said it "looks better" in Forza (probably for online gameplay purposes).

I didn't disagree with you about the graphic.

But in my case GT4 looks better than anything else on my Sony Grand Wega.

Its a shame they don't treat all their new models like this.

As far as the z06, if they treated the interior with carbon fiber, racing seats, alcantara steering wheel....it would be lending itself to being compared with the ford gt and other super cars. With the C6 interior and z06 performance, it will reach supercar performance in reviews but be pulled back down to earth with that bungy cord chevy of an interior.

btw here's the schedule and pricing for driving at the Ring...

http://213.239.207.198/nuerburgring....php?id=275&L=1

it's open to the public most of the time.... fee per car per lap is 15.00 € which I think is about $24 USD or so...... kinda steep but DAMN would I pay it in a heartbeat to get to run a car there!!!

The fee sounds very reasonable to me.
