I just saw this on Jalopnik, the Camaro has apparently been officially timed at the Nurburgring with a time of 8:19! Sure that might not be a Nissan GT-R time, but it's half the Nissan GT-R price.

how does that compare to competitors' times?

Shaved off a second huh? Not bad, not bad at all. There's an impressive list of vehicles that this car has beat on that track... including the GXP which was able to put up some very impressive #'s in all other performance categories.

But that pic is from an older photo shoot and not Nurburg Ring.

That is 6 seconds faster than a Porsche Cayman S.

Interesting thing is a Cobalt SS did it in 8:22. That little Cobalt is such a badass.

Mustang and Challenger haven't been to The Ring.

Edit:

Where's the VID!!!

Half?? more like 1/3 for the prices those GT-R are selling for.

WHOA -- The SS beats a BMW M3 at the ring ????????

The Wiki doesn't state what year M3. I doubt it could beat a new M3.

E46 is the prior generation M3. 2000-2006. The new M3 is not on that list, and I hate to say it but will likely soundly beat the Camaro.

E46 M3 ... so a few models back ... still not bad at all ... 8:19 is NOTHING to be ashamed of for sure !!

Crowley

Isn't the E92 the latest M3? If so it is on the list and did it in 8:05. With a base price of $57,850 for the M3, I'll take a Camaro SS and a supercharger and keep the change.

Wow this is in the same times as some cars double and tripple the cost. not bad at all!!!
