The Fastest EVER lap by any vehicle is 6:11.13 by the Porsche 956 on 28 May 1983. But that was a race car doing a qualifying run. In the production world some say its the Radical SR8 with a time of 6:55 if you consider it a production car. It is street legal but the car is a little ridiculous. I say it is the 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, it ran a 7:21.1 on 18 August 2008. All of these times were done on the 20,832 m setup of the track. -AGL
