An RX-8 would be playing around with the Boxster, though most likely outpacing it. That was one hell of a showing for the Z, but I think the S2K would have had it had the GT-R not been in the way, and if he hadn't messed up that one turn badly...

Because the GT-R is underrated and awd. Notice they mention the track is wet. AWD would rule in those conditions. It is also accepted it makes a lot more than 300hp in stock form.

I have that Best Motoring on DVD.
It should also be noted that the STI in that video is the less powerful 2.0 Liter JDM STI, not the more powerful 2.5 Liter USDM STI.

Yeah, GT-R is in a different class from the rest of the car. Even the M3 is no match, I would suspect the M3 would also struggle in the dry condition against the GT-R.
The M3 has power but also has weight and only rear wheel drive with the combination of weight it will loose traction, which will slow down the car in any condition.

It's only slightly more boost than the USDM car, and the STi has much better suspension and handling.

Wonder if how they do Quality Control in those cars --- NONE
