The cited page is very null on details. Does anyone have a more completed cited page, the current one doesn't seem completely reliable. Nem1yan (talk) 23:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree that it is a little lacking on details, however Pistonheads should be considered a reliable source and unless there are other equally reliable sources that suggest that the time given is not true, there are no reasons to treat the time and the source as anything other than accurate.カンチョーSennen Goroshi !

semi-protect this article?

With the amount of IPs editing this article and the amount of their edits either being vandalism or misguided, perhaps it is time to consider semi-protecting this article? カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! 또라이 (talk) 05:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I would tend to agree. The article seems prone to both active and passive vandalism. People are passionate about their particular car brand and as such tend to edit the article accordingly. Some outright lie others just twist the facts to suit their beliefs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urapnes (talkcontribs) 00:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

2011 Subaru Impreza STi, official: 7' 55"

What is wrong with you people? There is no room for argument, here. Right on their web site, and published, in Subaru's Drive magazine, on 2010.07.16 their 2011 factory Impreza clocked a 7'55". They've even got a video on it. That's not going to be something Fuji Heavy Industries is going to lie about. That is not something Tommi Mäkinen's going to lie about. I already put this in, once. I well know, we got some really big egos, in control of this here page. So, if it's the credit you people want, for sourcing this thing? Then, go ahead. By all means. You can have the credit. Fine by me. Fair enough? If you people lean the other way, that this whole thing's a publicity stunt? That it never happened? That Subaru and Tommi Mäkinen are in collusion, lying about the whole thing? That they cooked-up the video? Then, you people are dimwits.

You are correct there is no room for argument, it is a modified car as per source. --LiamE (talk) 01:51, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Agreed, I am far too sleepy to find the source right now (but will later if requested) but the recent Impreza time was a prototype of the 2011 STi with a number of evaluation parts fitted - ie. not a production model. It's a good time and a deserves its place on the article, but it can't be on the production car section. カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! 또라이 (talk) 02:52, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
The source currently used in the article where it correctly listed in the non road legal/series section is very clear on that, it even lists the parts. No need to look further. --LiamE (talk) 03:21, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

easy then. It is correctly cited and in the correct section. カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! 또라이 (talk) 03:39, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Ferrari 599XX

It's not a production car, it's a production car derived, and it's not road-legal road car, so let's remove the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.48.157.16 (talk) 15:20, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

agreed. it is not road legal, is it? カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! (talk) 18:13, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Ferrari describe it as "production derived" as opposed to a production car. Its a non-road legal prototype that was running on slicks and you cant buy one. It must go in the non-series/road legal section. If they do end up selling them and it runs a lap in road legal trim of course it can then be revisited. --LiamE (talk) 09:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

On the subject of not a production car,

the Pagani Zonda R ran a 6:47 around the N-Ring, but does it fall in the category with the Ferrari 599XX?

Yup the Zonda R is already listed in the same section as the 599xx. Its not road legal and Pagani dont intend to make a road legal version. --LiamE (talk) 13:12, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Track length

I added citation tags for track distances, claims for non-standard distances need to be verified. Needcitationsppl (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:20, 19 October 2010 (UTC).

You seem to have added them for 20,832m track lenghts. For modern laptimes that is the standard complete lap and is the default assumption for any lap not timed by Sport Auto. Sport Auto times are invariably given for the 20,600m lap distance. Where it is not clear which distance was used it is probably best to leave the field blank. --LiamE (talk) 03:46, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Manufacturer times, Sport auto times and Evo magazine times are all done in the 20.6km lap, Autobild is the only magazine that tests in the full 20.832km lap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.159.55.83 (talk) 02:05, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
