And American physics vs European physics 😂
After watching Honda NSX-R beat everything on Best Motoring some say there are also a distinct set of laws of physics for Japan. 😂

Laguna Seca is an American track, and the Audi R8 V10 is faster there. Randy Pobst is a consistently fast driver. I much prefer the V10 over the V6.

It seems the issue with early Mk II NSX was traction / stability control / torque vectoring was not integrated well and behaved unpredictably / unnaturally when driving on (or over) limit. Allegedly the updated version is much better.

Motor Trend said in their review of the 2020 NSX "When we first drove the NSX in 2015 we said Acura let us drive it a few years too early. Now that those years have passed, we're left with the car we wanted in the first place." so if it probably would've done a better lap and finished higher in the best drivers car ranking
