In the first 5 seconds of the race you see the Nismo driver sitting on the rev limiter. Pretty sure that's not the fastest way to get around the track. Also, I can't help but feel there is a staged element to the races. Every car gets a little face time in front, and then a Cayman wins. It's how almost every one of these BM videos go.
You would not be saying this if the NISMO won...plain and simple.

Can you think of a better way to compare a handful of factory-spec cars on a track?

For the record, I hate the Nismo. You can find my other posts that support that fact.

Can I think of a better test...of course. One driver, one car at a time, same track. Compare the final times. Hell, have each driver test each car one at a time on the same track, and compare the final lap times.
