I'm pretty sure that record at the Nardo bowl was set by that 9ff a few months ago, that article must be old..

A bit of triva, the engine was built by John Lingenfelter and he was behind the wheel on the record run.

Guiness book of world recods still says the mid 90's McLaren is the winnaar. 
To be honest with you, I would never think of this car as an actual "production" car.
If you look up the VIN on one of those, I bet you anything it still says the base model 911 GT2, not their 250mph variant. The McLaren is obviously a different story (which is why it's still in there.)
