I don't know how much the rubber is making to it's time and I doubt what another debate on this, I doubt you do either.
The 8:12 is being quoted as official in the Autocar magazine and is listed in their times with comparison cars (R8, M3, M6, RS4, M5, E46 M3, Cayman, etc) so in their mind this is the correct time.
I know I harp on about too many on this site and others disregarding anything that isn't rwd but when a machine with only 227hp is quicker than something with 500hp and BMW's ideal weight balance and rwd chassis you have to question who's setup is right and who's is wrong. I personally know which one is the more entertaining but I am not so sure it's the one which happes to be quickest.
