Default Turbo miata at nurburgring?

What kind of times do you think a well built miata like savingtons or hustlers would run at the ring?

Some get on Forza and make it happen.

It depends. The only way to run the whole course is to attend one of the $1000 exclusive trackdays as the tourisfahrten use the long straight for cooling and enter/exit Grune Holle/parking. Thats why you often see people bragging about the BridgeToGantry time which is about a minute less (?).
I think a 250-300 whp miata would do sub 8 mins BTG easely but not neccesarely the driver. I have about 90 laps in my MSM and is still a noob.
I have done a lot of trackdays on other regular tracks (2km ) but there is no stretch of tarmac that scares me more then the Nordschleife.
You guys should start saving and come down in 12-15 october. Track is open for public driving 4 whole days. They have started renting out track prepped NC's instead of the Suzuki swifts as well.

See Spookyfish. He's no slouch.

Some traffic and local yellow flags in this:

20120622 - Nürburgring Nordschleife - Laurens + Aswin on Vimeo

Edit: he did a BTG of 8:37 in that one but could obviously go faster with increased track familiarity. He is no Sabine Schmitz, but then, few men are.

I liked the German safety bitch yelling "Zuruck!", which means "Back!", to the people getting ready to cross the track to lend aid.

That's a hell of pre-purchase test drive. What are the specs of the car?
