The M8 is literally a few seconds off of the F82 M4 GTS LOL. 7:32 versus 7:27.
The new G8x is going to destroy all of these times, it's 500 lbs lighter than that M8 and BMW always puts it's biggest effort in terms of track times on the M3/M4.

"You guys" need to get your facts straight
.
The M8competition does not weigh 4,500lb.
The one tested by AM&S for their 'ring supertest weighed 4,169lb (1,891kg), that's ~285lb more than the quoted 3,890/3,880lb official weight of the 2WD G80/82competition. Not 500lb.
The M8competition has a massive 14% power-to-weight advantage over the RWD G8Xcompetition, this will be even more so compared to an AWD G8X. A 2WD G8X has less than a 1% power-to-weight advantage over an F82 M4cs, and a 8%
deficit to the M4
GTS. The G8X is unlikely to "destroy all of these times"
(at least not until they release CS/CSL versions).
A lot of blind "fanboism" going on in these threads...
