C/D's Lightning Lap
Just got the magazine and read through the article. What amazed me the most was the V6 Mustang, which set a lap time equal to the 2006 350Z despite a ridiculous 114 mph speed governor that the car spent 15 SECONDS PER LAP bumping up against. It was also nearly a second faster than last year's GT and a second and a half faster than the (lighter, more powerful) Genesis 3.8.
