It did handle the Ring pretty damn well, but from what I can see the source of the test was the manufacturer (it wasn't tested by a third party like many others on the Ring) and the Ring is a very long track where power/acceleration also plays a big part in the lap times. It won't handle like an M3 sedan or RS-4, IMO.

Side note, the Le Mans X5 was 9 seconds faster than the CTS-V second gen around the Ring. That lap time has held up better than I thought it would.
