as computer games go everything is possible
It certainly is - I also won the formula ford championship. 100mph round the bends is considerably LESS scary on the PC than in real life

I did the west circuit in a 350z last night in 70 secs (on my PC). Does that mean it's faster than the carrera GT?
Yeah i have race driver 3 installed but the times are crap. I did all the races and not once in the BMW Williams F1 championship and the times are no where near the real ones. 1.03 on the hockenheimring....

Quattroporte faster round a circuit than the M5????? :'( :'(

That's 400 BHP, 1860 kg and probably several hundred million Euro of development budget less than the M5.

Maybe they forgot to hit the 500 BHP button on the beemer?

Man don't take it to the heart. This is just one test that's undoubtly at least weird. Take the M5 on any other track...u name it TopGear, the track from BestMotoring, Nurburgring and so on and the M5 will be miles faster than the 330i. It will still be faster than the Masserati. Don't let one test blur your thinking.

I argued about that 1 year ago, and I was really as disappointed as you were.

Everyone attacked me then :'(

I still cannot understand how the QP is faster than cars like the Cayman S, Carrera, and Boxster S! May be the QP is just a miracle.

There are some perplexing lap times .... including the 330i sport and the Masser.

I guess it has to be the nature of the circuit and how easy the car is to launch.
