Fastest at Laguna Seca for the best price... Corvette. But far cooler is the Viper ACR which is fastest, but costs 10 thou more

Motor Trend started with the Porsche GT3 RS.
The new Porsche was impressive at 1:33.29, breaking the Viper TA’s lap record by more than three tenths of a second.

This made the GT3 RS the quickest car under a million dollars to lap Laguna Seca, but that record only lasted until the Corvette hit the track.

While Randy Pobst was critical of the Corvette Z06, he was able to run a quick time than he did with the Porsche, with the Vette running a 1:33.05

The Viper ACR slaughtered the Corvette Z06 lap record on the same day and in the same conditions. Pobst and the most track capable Viper ever turned in a 1:30.49,

Viper comfortably wins the new American Club Racer’s place atop the podium as America’s most track capable road car.

I'd like to know how they compare to far less expensive sports cars.... neither of these is much less than 90 thou.

I wonder how much a fast home built car would cost to do times this fast at Laguna... the only cars that would be competitive at the track would be Optima Challenge cars, and even those aren't very cheap

The Pete has re-opened, after refurbing the exterior... Autoweek did a great job taking photos of the cars inside, and you can save yourself the trip, but it looks like the exhibits finally got a long over do cleanout. Nothing looks like it did, it look s 100 times better

A total of 100 automobiles, 23 motorcycles, four scooters, one bobsled and one full-sized Lightning McQueen are on the grid as the museum throws open its doors again on Sunday, Dec. 6 in a special $200 “Preview Day.” After that you can get in for a mere 15 bucks, a pittance compared to the $90 million spent on the renovation.

Autoweek says:
"The ribbons float around the building "evoking imagery of speed and the organic curves of a coach-built automobile,” the museum says. OMG. Love it or hate it (and the only people we've heard say they love it are on the board of the museum)

Among the new Petersen’s many opening exhibits. "Precious Metal" features 10 beautiful silver cars on silver stands in a silver room with a silver backdrop.

well done, great execution of the theme

and here is one example of the huge improvement in displays

and FINALLY we know where the Tomahawk is
