2) The Supra is a 2 seater. If you don't care about the rear seats do a back seat delete on the M2C and reduce some weight.

3) The M2C was a 6MT. Everyone knows that the auto tranny in the Supra will be faster. The speed of an MT car is especially controlled by the driver. He may have not been good at shifting. They should have compared the Supra with a DCT M2C.

4) The drivers were not allowed to switch cars which means differences in driving skills can not be ruled out.

The cars were so close that the above stated factors could have changed the outcome of the review, IMHO.
also, for #1, sounds like the M2C tires were basically done with 10 days on them...I mean, tires are probably the most critical component of lap times haha

also #4 is absolutely true - this was not a good test (or even valid)
