I would not go quite so far. One of his key observations is simply that a 480 hp, 3800 lb car can not best other with massively better power to weight ratios. We all also agree on this fact as well. Now since the car must be (
IS) underated to get this time it all comes down to semantics as to whether this achievement is "fake". In my book it is.
