If all the manufacturers want to compete based on Nurburgring times they should all get together as a sanctioning body and set ground rules (no R comps, production tires, no tweaks to hardware, boost levels, etc).

It'll never happen but wishful thinking. I think ultimately series like the Continental Challenge do the real talking in terms of the abilities of these platforms --- not that those cars accurately resemble the stock cars.
