"I may be alone in this, but I reckon that a lot of performance cars I drive lack proper feel. I blame the Nürburgring. Being able to claim that your daily driver holds a production car lap record somewhere in Germany is a good boast down the pub for the feeble minded, and the map of the place that Aston Martin embroidered on the center console of the N400 might make its owners feel superior, but it's all nonsense." |

Nice time by the Camaro, but even crazier than that is the fact there's at least 75 cars that have now gone under the 8:00 mark at the Nordschliefe. Only a few years ago 8 was the magic number. As an equal opportunity car enthusiast, I love the progression.

 Any car under 8 minutes on The Ring is hella fast. Certainly faster than you could ever drive on the street! I still love to see them knocking these times down on increasingly more accessible cars.
