14 YEARS later, the Civic type R with a full "floating" cage and stripped out entertainment system can lay down a 7:43? I just don't think that's "monster" level. I watch the tests on Throttle House and watch it lose race after race.

7.43 for a roughly 300hp front wheel drive car with 4 doors, that is listed about a second behind a Porsche Cayman 981 GT4 (on Sport cup 2s as well), less than 2 seconds behind a 997 GT3 driven by Walter Röhrl. A 4 door family econobox, keeping up with 2 Porsche GT cars, let that sink in.
