Recently it seems like all the cars manufacturers are citing lap times around the Nurburgring. I am curious if anybody knows if a stock FD has ever made an official run and what the time is? I wonder how it compares to some of the newer vehicles.

 

I would like to know as well!

Can a moderator fix the spelling of "times" in the title of this thread.

 

Just because a car can go around a track fast, doesnt mean its going to feel good driving on the street.

I Nurburgring times are impressive..... but i've driven several cars "designed" from the 'Ring and they ride very harsh

The above site is your best bet at finding lap times for stock cars driven by good drivers.

The FD isn't the fastest in stock form but it's one of the easiest cars ever made to modify and make faster. Bigger wheels and tires, shocks/springs/sways, alignment/setup, exhaust mods, intake........just the basics will pay huge dividends vs most any other car out there.

I drove a bone stock (only mod was a cat back not even a dp) FD on VIRs full course with fresh victo racers on stock wheels (245 45 16s) and the car ran consistant 2.15/16s.
