That is correct. Up until lap 3 the NSX was beating the Murci, and the Gallardo.

Also i just loved how that Murci braked so soon.

Try 3,048 pounds, it is so easy to do a little research and have the correct numbers. The NSX-R weighs slightly less and has half the horsepower with significantly less tire.

I own an NSX and it is a great car but there is no way to compare it to a CGT and keep a straight face.

He's not comparing an NSX to a CGT. He's comparing the feeling of weight in an NSX-R to the CGT in a specific circumstance. A car doesn't have to be heavier to feel heavier.

Best Motoring is for Entertainment Only.

Well, you can still listen to, and have respect for, an accomplished drivers opinion on a car. The races, yes, entertainment only, but there isn't much entertainment in what someone thinks of a car. However, there is entertainment value in all the people getting their panites in a wad over their misinterpretation of what is reported.

You should have your car weighed. It's closer to 3500 than 3000.

Take into the consideration the car was a press car and had prolly had its share of abuse...not sure if it makes a difference or not but keep that in mind...
