Randy Pobst is one of the best drivers in U.S. he has experience with a multitude of cars, and countless championships.
He ran a 1:42.9 with a stock M3 Coupe, DCT, sunroof on street tires.
My GT3 ran 1:42.0 with a top speed of 116 mph (Traqmate verified) on RA-1. My first time at that track. The telemetry shows a 1:41 possible lap, even though I was braking at turn 1 (experienced drivers go flat-out).
The 997 GT3 ran 1:39 with a Pro-Driver (Max Angelelli) in a car with MPSC and PCCB. The C6 Z06 with this same driver ran 1:40.9
I doubt anyone here can touch 1:42s on street tires with the M3, or 1:39s with r-compound (non slicks) at Laguna Seca.
