    Nurburgring lap times. We love to talk about them, compare them, even flaunt them when our cars pull off crazy-low numbers at the hands of factory drivers. But do they really mean anything?

Now, with a brand new 2013 Dodge Viper being readied for launch next year, Chrysler is once again considering a return to GT racing.

  • Alfa Romeo Zagato TZ3 Stradale

But the press release that accompanied its debut refers to it as a "design exercise" and "avante-garde car," which pretty much equates to "concept car" in our book.

While that was a one-off track car, the TZ3 Stradale is a nine-off street car. The models are finding their way to ardent Alfa/Zagato collectors around...
