I find it both amusing and quite entertaining how the unofficial time keeps changing AND CONSTANTLY DECREASING.
8:12 : autoblog.nl
8:10 : Gerhard Richter
8:04 : Autospies ("beats Carrera S")
8:02 : The Star (approximate)
When will we see the magic 8:00 barrier broken??? If we take the 20 seconds to be exact this puts the car faster than the following:
-911 T3 (993)
-911 Carerra S (997)
-Lamborghini Diablo GT
-Ferarri 575M Maranello
-Ferarri 360 Modena
-BMW M5&M6
-Aston Martin V8 Vantage

What I find so amusing is that no where in the article is there evidence that the M runs an 8:04, nor is there evidence to suggest that it will, or has, run anything better than an 8:12.
Read it for yourself and tell me otherwise.
