Yea, and also the American cars just don't have it on the interior like BMW does. Period. However they have made improvements.

Here's another video of the 2011 @ VIR pulling a 9-second-faster laptime than the 2010 gt500.

One thing I notice is that without the 8400RPM redline on the Mustang that the M3 has, he seems to be bouncing it of the limiter quite a bit, and always seems like it could use a bit higher redline, but the laptime is hard to question.. 2:58.. According to Car and Driver a 2009 M3 pulled 3:05
