Is there a source backing up the Tsukuba laptime? I have seen a video of the Z3 M Roadster (in green) best motoring test unfortunatily at youtube they did not show the laptime. At that Best Motoring Tsukuba battel the the Z3 M Roadster EASY pass NSX, Caterham Super7, RX-7, S2000, S15 cars listed all a lot faster in this list.. for that reason I am little bit confused by the slow laptime.. here is the video unfortunatily it is chopped http://videos.streetfire.net/video/ed733516-7637-45db-b1ec-de0de 6de0b6c.htm

wow 1:40 for 5 laps thats pretty bad. very confusing... Hmm its a older BM for sure. i just wonder which one is it. Then we could find out about the laptime.

1:08 in Tsukuba totally stock its a good time,no very good but its faster than a 4WD Mitsubishi GTO and Ferrari 512TR Maybe the "traffic" of the race its a one problem

The Z3 is with 321hp n/a more powerfull and much lighter as the GTO(650lbs) that should give it a huge advantage on the race track.
