EVO magazine lap times

Will anyone be adding the times set down by Marc Basseng for EVO magazine?

They ran the Maserati MC12, Pagani Zonda F Clubsport, Koenigsegg CCX, Porsche Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo with help from Black Falcon.

The times for the cars were:

MC12 - 7:24.29
Zonda - 7:24.65
Enzo - 7:25.21
CGT - 7:28.71
CCX - 7:33.55(Homers Oddity (talk) 18:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

I was thinking about adding these after i saw yesterday they weren't on here but a quick look to EVO's website shows no trace of the article leaving us nothing to link to to evidence. WE can't just say we read the mag and they were in there... 81.79.208.165 (talk) 19:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GT-R

The GT-R times are also "manufacturer claimed". Best Motoring did not conduct the test. They reported on the test conducted by Nissan. Best Motoring is a secondary source (which is good if you read the policy) and Nissan is the primary source. Check out what the difference is and how they are defined WP:PRIMARY. roguegeek (talk·cont) 18:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When your standard is applied, most Rancined cars become the manufacturer claimed. the sports auto is not only necessarily a source tested alone.--Wikiarrangementeditor (talk) 22:30, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so how would you define the difference? roguegeek (talk·cont) 01:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nissan's claim has been achived by way of cheating. They didn't use stock tires and possibly other problems. Acutual production car was tested and could only come within 25 seconds of Nissan's claim.

They're just claims that question the time. We've placed the new tests onto the article, but I don't think this is enough to remove the Nissan test. roguegeek (talk·cont) 16:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
