if you watch the video the guy slides the Turbo around every other corner.

even if we do take these times as accurate, the 911TT losses by 1 second a lap, not 3+ like Best Motoring claims.

R8 amazes me one more time. I'll take it over the others, although I'm mightly impressed by the Nissan!

They don't show all the laps in the video and the journalist says that he wasn't pushing the GT-R to its limits because it's a privately owned car. Also the 911 used by BM in their videos is a Triptonic.

If the R8 had a extra 60-80 horses it would have come first in this comparo. Easily the best car of them all in this test.

I would only consider the M3 or the R8 out of this lot. Given that the speed limit in Australia is 110km/h and we have rubbish roads, M3 for me.

The M3 doesn't lose a lot of ground to these supercars. The M3 CSL should be bale to compete with these monster automobiles...

The Nissan really is the ugly duckling out of the group. It's amazing dynamics and performance, however, evolve the car into a beautiful swan...
