NEW 1LE Nurburgring Thread/Poll

[Scott@Bjorn3D]

I said under 8 but come on guys under the ZL1, get real the supercharger would have the ZL1 walking away on the back straight.

Agreed.... under 8 is doable IMO. The 2010 ran 8:20 with notorious understeer.

I voted under 7:54!
Now when the hell we going to find out the official time dam it!

Resurrection! I know, right!?! Someone BETTER take the 1LE over there and run it!

just as a heads up the 1le is not gear limited 5th tops out at 186 and 6th would go up to 275 so that is called drag limited.

That is a link to the math just so you know. I also know this car has no problem doing runs up to 160+ on the street so it would not have any problems on the ring.

On the possible ring time, aren't we talking a power to weight in range of a Porsche Cayman S? If I recall the list right those were 8:02 or so, be nice to see a 1Le under 8 though!!

Lol 1LE is wayyy faster around a track than a Cayman 3. Not even close really

According to my very crude algebra skills. lol It should run in the 7:56 range. lol Like I said very crude skills, so I may be way off.
But I based my math off of all three VIR times and the two ring times.
So the SS was 3:09 @ VIR and 8:20 @the ring
and the ZL1 was 2:57 @ VIR and 7:41 @the ring
and the 1LE was 3:01 @ VIR and (should be 7:56ish)@the ring

Tisk tisk tisk.... I remember Algebra class.... Show your work

SS 3:09@vir is 37.8% of its ring time of 8:20
ZL1 2:57@vir is 38.3% of its ring time of 7:41
1LE 3:01 @vir is roughly 38% of its ring time?
It might be kind of a jump but I feel like its probably a close rough est.

I love math. Its very straight forward. great job!

[SUKXOST]

Let's remember the 3:01 @ VIR time was admittedly on WORN tires and a wobble in one corner.....I think 7:56 is a pretty good mathematical "guess" and would be EPIC for a $37K car that weighs 3900lbs!

And don't forget there is video of the 1LE running
VIR in 2:58
