Sub 7min on the hair, yes that’s not going to be easy. I’m not ruling it out due to the S58’s presumed reserves but it will take some work on the chassis to put it mildly.

BMWs avoidance of presenting times and hard data for the G8X and M5CS is really frustrating. It breads suspicions on poor showings and conspiracy theories on hiding the truth. I don’t subscribe to them myself and think both cars will surprise on the positive end but I hate that they don’t let us know. I really applaud Porsche for their openness and early communication whether it’s a 4700 lbs 7 series competitor or a 3200 lbs track car. It pleases the fans and signals that they are a performance brand for performance minded customers. BMW has some shame to carry in this aspect.
