Good old chap, I don't know who the ...uck is ZNOD and its credibility...
But for sure I know the Ring and the credibility of "Auto Motor und Sport"
Take some German lessons and follow the link:

![Nono](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/nono.gif)
Besides that, I've stated that SLR and M5 are able to make the same time at the Ring.
If you are talking about High-speed on a "de-restricted" highway, there's no question about the SLR, but the ring is not exactly and Oval or a 4 just curve circuit...

Its a good engineering acheivement (well in my opinion Mclaren's achevement
), But in my opinion I think it looks ugly, porsche carrera GT is more my style. ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

BULL$HIT ALERT
since my BS meter was set off and i knew for sure there was somethign wrong with your numbers.

The record for a "production" car is held by the ?Radical? (however ?production car? is defined). The cars with #?s before them are ?modified cars? (however defined). The cars with an HVS designation supposedly were driven by Horst Von Saurma of Sport Auto Magazine.
There are several M5 times below. In regard to the C6 Z06, Dave Hill, the Corvette Platform manager, confirmed that Jan Magnussen lapped the Nurburing in 7:43 in an unmodified, stock tire, 2006 Corvette Z06. Apparently, Autoweek reported the Z06?s run, but mistakenly attributed the run to the rumored "Blue Devil" super-Z06. The latest Roundel indicates that the M6 has lapped the Ring in 8:09 seconds--which puts the M6 in pretty select company. BMW engineers believe it could get close to 8:00 without the governor. I have listed cars that we might be particularly interested in in bold.

I suggest that you compile your own list and post it here rather than sending others off to do your work. Incidentally, I did not complile the list. The list is widely circulated on the web. If you can correct it with confirmed results, then please do so. Also, it is not very friendly or useful to send non-German speakers to a German magazine--suggesting that they take German lessons first. I would be very interested in what is there, but, looking at the mag, I couldn't make heads or tails of much of anything.
Regarding all the remaining coments, I apologise myself if you have considered that I was somehow insulting with that post I've made...
![Ermm](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/ermm.gif)
Your list is one of the first places which I always consult regarding the Ring and I have nothing to state against its credibility. I imagine you had lots of work to create it, and still do to keep it updated. Thanks for sharing it with us...

Sorry znod, I didn't really linked your "username" to the list I always use in the first place and I really did miss the Klaus Ludwig time 7:40, like 700700 stated.

It was never my intention

To me there is one thing I really hate about Mercedes is ESP. You just can?t turn it off!!!
When you driving on the track you can feel that the chassis and suspension can push much further at corners as if the ESP doesn?t kick in.
