I know they also said in the article that there has been different variations of the burg course. That back in the day it use to be a shorter course than it is now, so that some older cars have faster lap times but the course was shorter thus leaving the answer up in the air.

Yeah...it's been around since 1927, and yes it has changed a lot, though not for at least 15 years. Here are the official lap times currently recognized, all on the same track layout:

166ci = 2.72L with 350 Hp, 265 ft.-lbs. Torque (2.11 hp per ci) sounds like more fun than the viper (1.17 hp per ci) or corvette engines, although the cummins would be fun to play with.
