what i don't get is:

I am Porsche fan and owner, i love these cars. But i can accept that there are cars that are faster, or cheaper, or whatever.

why are there always people like you that become religiously fanatic to defend a piece of metal? you sound like an Apple fanboi on Heroin

and btw - no professional driver takes the Nürburgring lap times 100% serious because it depends on the tires, the weather, the outside temperature etc.

you would only get reliable results when you had the same driver on the same day with the same tires driving all those different cars.

you need to relax.
