I think M3This' point is that manufacturers can do amazing things with even a FWD.
So basically...it's quite possible that a well sorted out FWD car can do sub 9 minute 'ring times. I don't dispute that all...in fact I bet they were able to do it using a driver with balls of steel, racing compound tires and certain suspension tweaks.
But then again a well sorted out sports car can do even faster times. The new GT-R is doing 7:38...so looks like everything is getting faster and faster these days.
Having said that...I would still drive my "slow-ass" 325i over a supercharged Cobalt. Like c'mon...it's a Cobalt.
