The Civic that achieved these test results would have gone 8:15 at best on the Ring. You have a car that is 1.5 seconds ahead after 200m. That pulls 1 g on a skidpad and stops far better. Though the SportAuto driver was no doubt leisurely in the Aston It's just physics. The 7:50 Honda was pulling over 1.05 g and achieving 200 in 16 at slowest. The 7:43 Honda along with lots of lightening was probably putting 330 bhp to the wheel along with near slicks and modified brakes
