3.37 was a mis-type.
The 3.27 was set by Irvine in a specially prepared car that was already out of the running, likely the same in '92 as the 905's were undoubtedly quicker but had more to lose.
It was a balls out lap to get a little glory for Toyota, I think Nissan did the same in 1990 with one of the US run cars.
Ultimate lap times are indeed very close, but current cars run closer to that pace for the duration of the race.
