    The VXR8 has what, 100 more hp and managed to beat a 350z by 1.8 seconds on an almost 2 mi track. Can we honestly make an educated guess that it was the VXR8's handling that beat the 350Z given the facts? I would say no. There's just too many other variables involved to use overall results (track time) to compare a single component of a car's performance (handling, power, driver, etc.). All we can say is that one that day, given the circumstances, the VXR8 was faster than the 350Z.

    although, it looks like my post was about 10 pages too late.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
