Production Super Cars Attack Nürburgring

Nissan and Porsche may be arguing over who's got the best Nürburgring lap time, but Evo magazine recently did them one better. The mag's N-ring showdown, with American Le Mans Series racer Marc Basseng at the controls, pitted a Maserati MC12 against its sister ship, Ferrari's Enzo, a Koenigsegg CCX, a Pagani Zonda F Clubsport and a Porsche Carrera GT. In the final outcome, it was the Maser that wound up on top. Here are the car's reported lap times over the 12.8-mile course:

Maserati MC12: 7:24.29
Pagani Zonda F Roadster: 7:24.65
Enzo Ferrari: 7:25.21
Porsche Carrera GT: 7:28.71
Koenigsegg CCX: 7:33.6

Of course, none unseated the 2009 Dodge Viper ACR, which holds an unofficial production car record (according to Motor Trend), of 7:22.10 with FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel behind the wheel.
