Now if sport auto manages the sub 8 min time with CTS V, kudos to them.
BMW once claimed 7.52 min for M5.

Re: New CTS-V: 550 HP Supercharged V8

MILFORD, MICHIGAN - Official Society of Automotive Engineers numbers for the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V are 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque. Its 6.2-liter supercharged OHV V-8 propelled it around a lap of the Nordshleife in 7 minutes, 59.32 seconds recently, and Cadillac says it will launch it from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Quarter-mile? About 12 seconds at 118 mph. Cadillac says some runs have beat 12 seconds; others are slightly over.

Cadillac CTS-V does 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds | Car News Blog at Motor Trend
