The only two laps in the 1:06's were the Z and the Carrera. Everything else was slow compared to the two.

The Z made up like a 5 second deficit on the Cayman S (which started first) in like 2 laps. Meaning it is much faster than the Cayman S. The Carrera is about .4 seconds a lap faster than the Z. THe 135i wasn't even close to the pace, sloppy to say the least. The 135i was like 2 seconds off the pace of the Z.

In other words the real result of the test was Carrera - Z - Cayman S - S2k - 135i.

The carrera was MUCH faster in the straights. In the twisties, the Z matched it move by move.

I can't give you the Torrent because its from an invite only site which is very strict...
Here's what I saw in another forum.

The 911 had a chance to pass the 370 at the final straight but ran out of room. I'd bet that in a longer race it would've eventually gotten by. The 135 was noticeably slow on the hairpins where IDE-san ran into some heavy understeering. At one or two of the turns he almost ran off the track as he went really really wide. If he kept his line with some suspension tweaks, the result would've been dramatically different.

They seemed dissappointed that the Z couldn't get a debut victory but was happy that the car was much improved over the Z33. At the end of the race the conclusion was that it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, these sports cars are all extremely fun.

On the bright side, the 135i won every straight line test and battle amongst this group of cars (0-400m). It was about 4-6ft worse compared to the rest in their lane change braking test though.
