GT3 C&D Review
http://www.caranddriver.com/shortroadtests/10864/first-drive-2007-porsche-911-gt3-997.html
............Porsche says that during development the 911 GT3 997 recorded a 7:47 lap around the benchmark Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. But engineers say the time with the final setup should drop into the 7:42-to-7:45 range. That's about 10 seconds better than the old car and also a few seconds quicker than the 997 Turbo. We're sure Porsche would be pleased if the GT3 matches the Corvette Z06's 7:42 lap time, but it's still a ways off its big-brother Carrera GT's 7:32 pace.
