It´s not odd, different drivers, that´s it. I am 110% sure I wrote that BMW:s TESTdrivers did the lap, rumors say it was Hans Stuck.
M5Ranger: The list is not uppdated yet, that´s why some cars are missing.
Saurma is not exactly a novice, improving on his time by 21 seconds doesn't sound right to me. That time would also put it ahead of the F430 by 3 seconds...

Bradah that's a good one my buddy Charles (Orange GT3RS) will have a good laugh when i tell him this thread this is a good payback
Video at last Mfest 2...
Driving home a couple hours ago I pull up behind a Black/Orange GT3 RS. It looked awesome and sounded great as the driver heel toe downshifted to the light. Traffic was clear down in the mexico coast so I was curious to see if he wanted to play, he did!

Laidback are we going to start this all over again .
Things have not been so good lately (the economy sucks and the gov't is not paying) but I need to get out and plan a run against an M5/M6 with my 997GT3.
My M5 was going to be used for the run but it is down for the engine build creating the V10 TT built motor.
No more talking.
This discussion without a doubt is a lot of fun .

I don't think any of your cars are good for what everyone is looking for, base results. Comparisons should always be stock vs stock, your cars are too fast
Chris I'll race your buddy Charles with video if he doubts the M6

The M5 was hitting the limiter on the long straight at 269 km/h, when Saurma drove it in the Sport Auto test.
Maybe when BMW drove it, the limiter wasn´t there, shaving of a couple of seconds there, and also during the track? Hans Stuck is a better and faster driver.
And then again, putting it in front of the F430 only means that the drivers were different...don´t you agree? On a track like Nürburgring you can find and also lose many many seconds with just tiny mistakes. Even though Saurma is a good driver, there are always better ones out there.
Then you have different days, air, humidity, temperature and so on.
M V10 that was a great list of the top lap times on "the ring".
One thing though, I thought the Dodge Viper ACR ran one of the fastest lap time? I do not see it even on the list?
Links were provided earlier in the thread.

For the record, Saurma did post 7 minutes 50 seconds in a M3 CSL.
And for the record, Hans Joachim Stuck (Hans Stuck was his father) did post a 7 minutes 50 seconds in a BMW X5 E53 LM* (Non-series/road-legal vehicle).

I know all this already, thanks for the post though
Saurma is indeed a good driver, but Hans is the better one. I am positive that Hans is way quicker then Saurma around Nürburgring.
The difference M5 E60 vs M3 CSL is way bigger then I would have expected, 23 seconds is quite a lot, specially when you think that the M5 has 507 hp, vs the CSL´s 360 hp.
Yes, the CSL is way lighter, but I think it has more to do with the humidity, temperature and so on, not only the weight.
7:52 min for the M5 E60 is fast, very very fast for 4000+ lbs car.
