Plus, it's a track tuned car. On top of this, all comparisons are done across multiple days and they only take the fastest lap as opposed to an average hot lap. Hardly the most statistically sound way of comparing lap times.

TL;DR Car magazine reviews are worthless when it comes to numerical comparisons. Pick the car that subjectively fits you best. Even if you take it to a track, you're probably not going to be racing it.
I agree with your statement but to clear things up, the regular gt with the brembo package is as quick as the m3 on the track. Plenty of videos and reviews of that. The best one was with Randy pobst driving them on the same day.... The boss really is a step above the m3 and shouldn't be compared, as stated. And only the laguna seca package got r comps, the rest of the reviews are on street tires....
