You are absolutely correct cupcake... There are quite a few GT3's that will beat or stomp a mud hole in the new camaro's lap times.. But the 993 GT3 is not one of them. Honey buns I dont know if you noticed the citations next to all the NSX's that ran faster than 8:20 all had modifications of some sort, no airbags, no accessories, no spare tire, etc... Probably other mods unlisted... Hardly a fair comparison. Simply giving everyone an idea of what this car can do. That actually wasn't the list I was looking at. But it'll do.. It beat the EVO VI and VII, the S5, Cayman S, Lotus Exige S, BMW M Coupe, M3 E46, 350Z... etc... Not by much but enough... Just making sure the camaro gets credit where credit is due... It truly has entered a sports car class while still being a muscle car.

And being a well versed chevy guy.... and for anyone who knows anything about the LSX engines... knows that these engines are just waiting to be opened up with some head porting and a nice cam shaft.. Expect 460-490 rwhp with a bolt ons and a moderately aggressive cam. Insane..
