Really this means nothing, unless you post up the track that the cars were racing on.

A low speed race track would benefit the lighter cars, while a medium speed track would benefit the well handling cars, and the high speed track would benefit the higher power cars. same thing if this was a just slalom course set up in a parking lot.

all in all while this doesn't not definitively show a cars full potential, it does give a good Idea of it capabilities

There are definately a couple cars that could rape that Ford GT around the track in the 240K + range.

Obviously, but that's precisely why it's not in the $240K+ category.
