Funnyest thing is a fact that this car was made to be Group B rally racer. And
959 off-road modification participated in Dakar Rally. As a roadcar it was
competitor to Ferrari F40. 959 was a uubercar at it's time. Very sophisticated
and quick accelerating.
According to its technical data and the sophisticated 4wd it should have been
faster than 288 gto at any track. I think that it is faster than a 993 turbo. I
do not belive that 1.37 in Fiorano was a "flat out" lap! Can we find other lap
times?
I agree. The 959 is faster than a lot of cars in that Fiorano list. But it's
very very hard to find any lap times and track tests for such an old and exotic
car. But you can try.

Hello!
I'm an italian sportscars fun, so i can find many Fiorano laptimes in Italian
magazine.
Yor list is wrong for some models.
Ferrari 456, for example, is not able to lap in 1.35, just too fast for that
model.
Correct time is 1:40.
Ferrari 512 TR is wrong too.
It's a very heavy model, unable to compare with F 355.
Its correct time in italian magazines is 1.37.
Ferrari Testarossa (1984) is not in your list.
Its lap is 1:41.
Ferrari 328 GTB lap in 1.44.

On this track they had used the 959 comfort insted of the sport. 3.6 vs 4.0+ in
0-60
