The stats for the following cars were added to the list:
-1996 Mazda MX-5
-2004 Acura RSX-S
-2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo
-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
-2018 McLaren 600LT
-2014 Subaru BRZ
-2019 Ferrari 488 Pista
-2015 Mazda MX-5
-2015 Porsche 918 Spyder
-2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo
Due to some disputes regarding times, the following cars were re-tested and times revised:
-1971 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 -> from 1.322 to 1.307 (old champion returns)
-2017 Ford GT -> from 1.333 to 1.328
Cars to be added in the near future:
-2016 Jaguar F-Type
-2015 Mustang GT
-2016 BMW M4 GTS
-2015 Porsche Cayman GT4
-1976 Volkswagen Golf GTI
-2019 BMW M2
-2016 Volkswagen GTI Clubsport
-1987 Ferrari F40
Note: regarding the times, while it is definitely possible to surpass some of the listed race times, the point of the test is to have a standardized path, where the nitrous is used at the same points on each car (straights only, not corners, during Laps 1, 3, and 4)
Thanks for composing this list. Very useful! Excited to see the 1976 VW GTI specs, lol.
Anyways, just a quick note to mention that the Polestar appears to be significantly faster with the forged 3.8l V6 engine (makes 1430hp and specs all 10s).
Also, would be very curious to see how the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport as well as the 2013 Corvette Z06 compare.
Finally, a couple questions : 1. Are you using drag tires for the 1/4 mile times? And where do you test a measured 1/4 mile?
2. What is the difference between race tires and track tires? Which is better for a full grip setup?

Ah yeah, the GTIs are coming still. And I'll max out the Z06 and Grand Sport when I get a chance.
I will definitely try out the Forged 3.8L V6 on the Polestar and revise its standing if there is an improvement. Thanks for the heads up.
The 1/4 mile time is based on the mobile tuner (where you adjust steering sensitivity and downforce); the time listed there is the time I post. I did not run the 1/4 miles myself, as it would be difficult to time and measure.
Race and Track tires are relatively similar, but I find that the track tires allow for slightly better handling and maneuverability at higher speeds - although the difference could be considered negligible. I ran a couple of comparisons of the two in the past, just for my own purposes, and figured the Track tires had better grip at lower speeds, making it slightly easier to accelerate. In my opinion, it just comes down to personal preference between the two, as you will feel the slight differences in handling.
