Zonda F is still the fastest road legal production car on the 'Ring. While this souped up M3 is faster, it isn't a production model--it has been modified from the M3 CSL which is the real production model.
Besides...if you really mod the M3...the M3 GTR can do the 'Ring in 7:12.
And if you account for production non-road legal cars like the Radical SR8...it can do the 'Ring in 6:55.
Just saying...

It's the fastest road legal car around the ring, which is a cool achievement.
M3 GTR is not road legal, and the I think that although you can call the Zonda "production", the production numbers involved are so small as to make the distinction between production and non production insignificant in this case, IMO.
