That's very cool and my favorite response was ... It'll do the ring in less then 25 parsecs

Except wouldn't that be like saying "It'll do the ring in less than 5 kilometres" since a parsec is a unit of length ??

Yes a parsec is a unit of length, the sec part does stand for second, but second of arc.

It is equal to 3.16 trillion kms, 3.26 light years, or about 145,000,000,000 laps of the Nurburgring.

I suppose this makes sense if the Stormtroopers drive Elises.....

Is that 145,000,000,000 laps of the Nurburgring here on earth or the Nurburgring in the parallel universe that is supposed to exist out there somewhere, wherever that somewhere is.
