    probably the first time the pace car will actually be competitive with the cars of the race series!

    my question is, does he adjust the A/C vent just before he starts the run at 100 mph? or resetting the trip odometer? maybe switching it over to the instant fuel economy display...

    The first time I have seen the white stripes truly look like a near solid line. I would think you would need ballistic glass up front incase you ever hit a bird or something. I have seen what kind of damage a buzzard does at 60, a humming bird at 205 would decapitate you.

    Did anybody click on the other article links. the lap time one...It has other cars and their lap times. fastest ever was the Porsche 959. did it in 6min 11 sec! The article stated what's even more amazing is that it was done 25 yrs ago.

    It also talked about an SR8...I had no idea what that was... found this:

    The 956 has a place for a license plate? Would hardly classify it in the same category as a vette.

    Something tells me that article isn't exactly accurate. If a 959 did it that fast, it sure as **** wasn't the "road version". This car did it in 6:55.

    EDIT: I just realized that Grayson put 959 when they were talking about a 956. BIG difference! I can't see the videos here at work so I didn't know until I started reading the comments below the article. Still though, that's not even a fair comparison.

    hehe, no, I wasn't getting them in a wad. It just sounded like you weren't impressed that a bone stock ZR1 that carries a 3yr/36000 warranty is that f'n fast.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the looks of a 956...those things were evil. Short lived career, but evil none the less.

    Speaking of short lived....this is definitely one of my favorite "what could have been" race cars. The Jaguar XJ13.
