The track was at Virginia International Raceway.

Also reading the article, some other surprises...

the M4 (430hp/370lb ft, 3300lb curb weight) got beat by the E63 (557hp/530lb ft, 4300 lbs).... wonder how the new C63 will fare then.

and the $197k Audi R8 V10 didn't do well at all... where as the $66k Stingray is incredible performance for it's price point. Liking it more and more.

Anyways, here's the article... enjoy:

Wow, Camaro did well. Not too huge of a difference between Subaru WRX and STi.

Man, the thought of driving ANY of those cars at VIR gives me chills, but can you imagine going 170MPH IN A FUCKING 918. Jesus h christ.

6 seconds over the GTR, and ViperTA

Hyper cars are really separating itself from the rest, and that GTR and Viper are pretty much factory time attack cars.

Wonder how the P1 and laferrari would have faired

99.9% of these cars will never see a track

Will look awesome at Richmond center/UBC with an N on the back though

Love how well the Camaro Z/28 performs. Edging out the new Turbo S? jeebus!! I really dislike the new gen body style but man, the Z/28 just looks menacing and has the performance to back it up.

VIR is a killer test track. Been there twice but only drove once.

Would be curious to see how a common car would perform around this track - eg. How would a base Corolla or Accord acquit itself? Would set a common man baseline. (How awesome/terrible would it be to see a turd like a Mitsubishi Mirage or Nissan Versa get around there?)

Can't wait to see the new Z06 or ATS-V/CTS-V make its way around the track. The CTS-V is gonna be a real monster considering what the V-Sport did - add 200 more hp in a chassis that can handle it and it'll probably shave another 8-10 seconds off its lap (world's fastest sedan?)
