Stating their goal is not by any stretch of imagination claiming any records. What you did, is raise a bogey man, knock it down and when questioned about it, come up with a very untenable answer. Pretty cheap stuff.

You're funny, what does their statement "hunting down CGT" mean, if not the intention to beat the CGT time? (and what is a bogey btw?)

And how is having the goal of beating CGT's time equate to claiming any record?

And I meant straw man, not bogey man - I guess need some coffee.

Both qotes "hunting down CGT" (take CGT as the fastest road legal production car)
+ "Second goal is to going after the EDO Competition Porsche, 7:15." (EDO time is the record for street legal modified cars) are literal translated implications for breaking a record, don't they?

Those are the times they aimed for. What do want them to do? Aim for the slowest times? I didn't see any thing from Loaded where they claimed the time they set (7:22) is a record of any sorts.

if they want a record they would spell it. Radicals have been faster than the EDO so they wont have any record even if they beat that EDO.

BMW POWER baby

Sure, but Radical is way too different from those two; EDO and Loaded are tuners of stock cars - therefore they can compete with each other... Radical? No. It's time should be compared to Caparo's (if available/measured at all).

there is hot debate on the net about Radicals. People have different opinions about them. Some think its roadcar, others think not.
Whatever the case is, Radicals are faster.

I repeat: they may be faster, but they aren't the same league/class - therefore, they don't compete afaic!

Anyone with an onboard vid?

And this bit always bothers me, where do people time the lap from?
Clarkson timed at the bridge, Pagani right at the end and Hans Stuck on the GP track's finish line. There has to be one universal? Same goes for starting the timing...

kudos to Loaded... This is a great achievment.
BTW, EDO/radicals... The M3 is in the same league as the Edo (heavily tuned existing car but street legal), the Radical is a race car unplug.

Loaded does not want to breach all the records or so what: the are faster than the fastest stock supercars, now they want to be the fastest of the street legal cars... They don't want to top the F1, of course.
It's like Opel claiming the OPC are the fastest of their class: they don't mean the fastest cars ever, only faster than competition from the same category...

Beating the Edo would be a record; beating the CGT with a M3, even heavily tuned with double the stock power, is also something worth mentionning!!!

This lap is the same as used by Sport Auto (20,6 km). The BTG time was 6,55.

I think the Sport Auto lap is quite common, there is a lap that is 20,8 km too.

same lap as Sportauto does they say.
