Cornering speeds from this month's Sport Auto (and some figures from Sport Auto's '97 test):

SRT-10 / GTS (411 PS)

Schwedenkreuz: 233 kmh / 223

Aremberg: 94 (1.1g) / 98 (1.1g)

Fuchsroehre: 217 / 218

Metzgesfeld: 147 / 184 (?!)

Bergwerk: 95 (1.25g) / 113 (1.3g)

Kesselchen: 220 / 212

Klostertal 1: 147 (0.95g) / 179 (1.2g)

Klostertal 2: 82 (1.05g) / 99 (1.3g)

Pflanzgarten: 177 / 171

Galgenkopf: 124 (1.1g) / 136 (1.1g)

Doettinger Hoehe: 263 / 252


Overall Lap time: 8:13 / 8:10

Air temperature: 28 deg C (82 deg F)
Track temp: 37 deg C (99 deg F)

The C6 Z-51 did a 7:56 and they said the driver was the normal driver for when they do their runs.

An explanation from st-anger (paraphrasing the article):
"...the SRT10 has a undefined handling behavior, the driver has to drive it under load all the time, load cycle changes are kinda challenging and very bad for a good lap time, because a smooth and correct line is everything at NS..."

Anyone else think this seems a little off.

Blah. Any grandma can drive a Vette fast. It takes skill to drive a Viper.
