Being turbo'd it'll be simple to crank up the boost and get even more stupid fast. Time will tell where they place in the pecking order. I'll look forward to a "casual" meeting with one in the Z.. (on the track, of course!)
Maybe the cars in japan do not have catalitic converters, and do not need to be tuned for emissions ??? I dunno.

Also, almost all of the reason for the good numbers is because of the amazing launch capability. AWD with an automatic is the best combo out there for an amazing launch. I'll be they are not so good from a roll. So only race them from a roll and you got it made.
