It may not be the Nurburgring, but I don't plan on driving the Nurburgring on a daily basis. The TGTT, in my opinion, mimics a lot of what I incur on a daily basis in the Z (more acceleration than top speed).

It's a valid enough source for me to form a conclusion and is, in my opinion, one of the few sources which compiles the results in an apple-to-apple comparison with limited subjectivity (the Stig is relatively consistent).
