wait....my 4cyl vtack accord isnt on the list :troll:

OMFG

The GT-R isn't first on the list? I hope Satan likes the cold.

woohoo go miata!!

MMMmmm, ZR-1 and Z06. Looks like the tweaks to the IS-F made it handle better and look at the times for the V6 Stang...damn.

I like how the GT-R is the ONLY car on the list that says "(all-season tires)"

U mad bro?

The GT-R with all seasons is like 4 seconds off the GT-R without... which is still 5-6 seconds behind its rivals ZR-1, ACR

surprised to find lotus elise sc that slow.

They took the turbos out to make it fair for the rest. :p

wow to the corvette...

how did the WRX beat the STI?

old model vs new?

looks like the best bang for the buck is the Ford Mustang V6.

Cars listed by class base on price.
surprised with the times listed in bold.
very nice information but note 5 sets of data (different weather and track condition)

but it's really ugly

IMO the GT looks a lot better but the V6 is far from ugly

I guess their driver improved a lot seeing that the MKVI GTi is 6 seconds faster than the MKV

the mustang is pretty cool packaging considering you are buying into a 330hp vehicle for like 25k....known to handle better than the gt on the skid pad too...

Never thought i'd see the day when the base model mustang beats the WRC CHAMPZ STI OMGZZZZ LOLZ. Japs better step it up.

:haha:

goooo viperrrrrrrrr!

wow the 370 beat the 350 only by .5 of a second

Where did all the GTR Fanboiz go?
:troll:

The 2011 IS-F is almost 9 sec quicker than the 2008 IS-F. Weather Conditions? perhaps.

haha.. the 2010 S4 is still slower than an 2007 335 and the 07 RS4 is slower than both of them.. ouch

^ And the M3 is slower than a Ford Mustang. Double ouch.

New spring rates, upgraded swaybars and subframe bushings were part of the suspension modifications and the addition of a LSD were the biggest factors in the IS-F being alot faster.

What makes the Mustang V6's lap time even more impressive is that it spent 15 seconds on the track hitting the 114 mph speed limiter.
