Two very impressive results are : McLaren 570S, very close to the GT3 RS whereas it is far from a dedicated track car and the 488GTB.
Looing forward to read comments from the magazine.
 
GT350R keeps getting more and more impressive considering it is not a supercar, but runs with supercars. The NSX was benchmarked against the 458 Italia so it does quite well against the 458 Italia, but the 488 has moved the game so much further.
 
Camaro faster than a R8 V10 Plus....sure...:rolleyes:

Corvette faster than a 570S....sure....

Do people actually take these lap times seriously? The 570S is a 130-135 mph car in the 1/4 mile...its quite a bit quicker than a Z06 and worlds quicker than a 460 hp C7..the 570 would need to be going sideways in every turn to lose the lead it gains on the straights.

Of course context is important, perhaps they had no tread left on the 570's tires...in which case you should still take the returns with a grain of salt.

Well, after seeing the complete time table I really have to agree with you... it can't be right!
Keep in mind these are not by any means race car drivers. These are only professional journalists. And you know what manufacturers say about that..."professional" journalists make for pretty incapable amateur drivers (most of them at least). Just watch the videos.
 
In a long track like this, the weather condition could mean 2 or 3 seconds difference. I remember some test in Imola circuit, more than 2 seconds beetween an hot and a cold day. In Fiorano Schumacher with a 430 scuderia lap in 1.25 in perfect condiction and in 1.27.5 in an hot day.
