This is a tuned car and BTW never ever road legal in Germany.

- German TÜV ? No
- Emission levels? No
- Regular street tires ? No
...do I have to coninue?

It's ridiculous to claim speed records of tuned cars which likely never last more than 10.000 km.

Just curious marcei... where exactly did they actually claim to have achieved any 'record' ?

They publicised their time around the 'Ring to show just how much of improvement they've done to what once was an already outstanding trackcar. They haven't claimed to have smashed Pagani's latest time around the 'Ring (not that such a record is any less rediculous coz good luck finding LEGAL piece of road where you can drive like you can on the 'Ring).

The time is simply an objective and quantifiable means of comparison to what modifying an M3 CSL can do over the stock model.

So whats the difference between this CSL and the EDO Porsche 911 that did the ring in 7.15 min?

From loaded.se forum:

"With Michelin tires it is and with another +10 degrees and no other cars on the track, we will do 10 more sec so watch out, see you EDO guys in March 2008...i hope!"

ahh, comparing this pimped CLS with a road legal car in Germany does make sense in your opinion?

and loaded.se isn't claiming records? Haha:

"our goal to hunt down the Porsche Carrera GT on the ring. Second goal is to going after the EDO Competition Porsche, 7:15."

Nuff said.

I don't want to discuss the differences here, and it wasn't also my intention.

Beside that, the edo car from 2005 was registered / capable for road registration in Germany e.g. E marked road tyres, fuel & fuel pump and exhaust emission has been aproved. etc.pp. Anyway , both are heavily tuned , not very long lasting, cars.
