I thought they use professionals, didn't know the writers were driving. 4-5mph is a big difference, better street tires alone shouldn't make that much of a difference. Also they have the mighty Nismo, I can never ever compare my car to that. Mine is just a lowly base model.
Btw, I do consider myself an average driver. I don't know if I am much of an enthusiast anymore, more like some dumba$$ who doesn't have a new hobby yet.

well i believe the article did mention that the NISMO they had never really felt like it was putting down the 350hp. It didnt even feel as fast as their long term 370Z sport package so who knows. Could be high heat oil stuff. But they never got a true hot lap because of oil temps and brakes going soft.
Prius racing, the new one make series 
You want to see a good driver, at the driving academy for the state police they hustle old crown vics around their racetrack in a manner that you would not believe. Auto Crown vics that are about 10 years old. Its amazing how fast they get them around. oh and they have to do it wet as well......
