I'd say that we'd need EVO magazine to pick up two cars and race them at the ring, and let the world know. Same driver, back to back runs.
you would think that there would be an official organization at the ring, where all manufacturers would submit their time through, which would be released to the public.

otherwise its just up to teh internet to decide

That's why most of you have more fun in 30mph go karts than you do in your cars.

That's all I have to say about that.
Totally, this is why I am planning on selling my Z. I enjoy my teeny 4cyl convertible much more... 2189lbs FTW.
