    Interesting, and you post this here on Ferrari Chat in the "Ferrari Discussion" forum because? Maybe in the "Off Topic" forum would be more appropriate.

    Cars would be the right section.
    Maybe even the Lamborghinichat.com section since there is one of those.

    +1, kind of irrelevant.

    Poor M6 looks like it showed up for the wrong event, lol. Maybe go bother the Bimmer forums with this one.

    Funny how I owned a NSX and can't remember if it was a dry sump or not.

    A mod can probably move it, I agree it doesn't fit in here...

    Every time I look at NSX-R I want to cry because they didn't make it with LHD - if they did I'd be all over it :( It seems like a pure driving machine...

    These comparisons can be so driver/modification dependant.
    As much as I love the NSX, a 997 Turbo would whup it given equal drivers.

    Either the video was out of syn, or there was a big difference between the 911 and NSX drivers. The 911 was getting on the throttle too suddenly to late out of some corners. What would really interest me, is if they did it multiple times, switching the driver's up.

    i don't think they are using inexperienced drivers.. i'm sure they're all professionals. i can't tell from the video, but if it's Gansan driving the NSX-R... it would be a huge advantage. He knows the car like the back of his hand. Also, I didn't see a long straight away... which would make the huge HP differences less relevant. Given the track layout, I think the 997 TT and the NSX-R would consistentaly produce similar times by the same driver. Take it to Road America.. then yeah... the 997 and Gallardo would whoop a$$.

    To me, it looked more like they were playing follow the leader. Even at the start where the NSX jumped the gun, the turbo should have passed him onto the first turn, but was already on the brakes hard to stay behind.
