that's just it, the e92 M3 isn't having trouble with the RS4 from a performance standpoint. the article posted even admits that.

i'm not doubting it was an auto, but do you have evidence to support that it was, aside from the date posted next to the laptime? next year's models typically come out the year before so maybe this was an '06 model? like i said i don't doubt what you said, but for my own good i'd like to see where it states that it was an auto. as far as a base model c6 vette hitting under 8 minutes on the ring, it's probably possible. but so far we just have the auto c6 vette, or the upgraded (z51) vette's barely under 8minutes laptime to go on.
