when the hybrid, all-wheel drive ZR1X lapped the 'Ring in 6:49.275, it became the fastest ever lap by an American production vehicle, as well as the fastest completed by any non-professional race car driver and the fifth-best overall.

Fast forward to today, and two Mustang GTD - one blue, one black - were turned loose at the Nürburgring. 

Though official scoring and timing results aren't available, outside timing indicates that they both beat the times set by the Corvette's best. 

The black Mustang GTD was clocked at 6:41.74, while the blue one came home at 6:45.71.

Though these are not official results, until official results are posted that irrefutably prove contrary, (not likely) the Ford Mustang GTD has put the Vette to shame.
