Zonda R vs. Porsche 956

I'm suprised no one has brought this up since the record was smashed. Recently the Pagani Zonda R smashed the record held by the insane Ferrari 599XX. It posted a time of 6:48, to put that in perspective, thats 34 seconds faster then the ZR1. As much as this time is incredible, the overall time is still held by a full blown racing car, a 956, and driven by the crazy german himself, the late Stephon Bellof, with a time of 6:11!!! thats still 37 seconds faster then the Zonda, but realistically, in the last decade, the time for production cars have been tumbling, and to be almost a half a minute to the record is incredible

Zonda built that car in memory to the old Group C / GT1 days of Le Mans racing, and IMO they hit the nail on the head. I can only imagine what the car would do on full racing slicks.
The Zonda has 100 more HP, but it is also 600lbs heavier.
I don't know which car I would want more, a ground effects, turbo charged, fiberglass rocket that would rip the edge of your lips if you try to smile while accelerating, or the dream-esqu lines, and monumental looks and performance of a road legal Group C car.

So whats your pick guys, Porsche 956, or Pagani Zonda R?
