The problem with the Isle of Man TT is not that there aren't cars that are capable of massively beating the Subi's record. It's theres no drivers insane and or skilled enough on this track to attempt it (you can blame pansy companies as well). It's course mastered by riders not drivers. A rider will no the course like the back of his hand..... you could put Senna on this course and he'd crash due to not knowing the layout. Save for local residents there really isn't any driver that I know off that could technically drive the course at full till the way the top TT riders can ride the course
I'd say if you want to get mid-to upper 18' min your going to need something in the neighborhood of an M4, C63 etc
If you want anything even approaching the 17' minute barrier your looking at things like 458 Speciales, Aventadors, F12's, Mclaren 650s's etc..
If you want to actually competetively tango with the Superbike TT's......We are a talking minimum of Gumper Apollo, Zonda Cinque + levels of performance here. Your going to need something that can get WAY past 200mph to overcome the acceleration advantage the TT bikes have
So unless Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari, Pagani or some other hyper car company wants to sacrifice a couple of their masterpieces (Believe when I say there WILL be a crash if
those cars are driven to the limit on this course) then we aren't seeing
anything touching the low 17's
