I was surprised G37 was so far behind, i guess it was because of its weight. Evo IX could even run with F430 and 911 on this kind of track, very fast. I can't wait to see how GT-R do against these fast cars.

Almost assuredly so - even though old-school Evo heads decry how heavy the Evo X is, the G37 is more than 400 lbs heavier!
