My old Civic racecar was around 300 hp, but only weighed around 2100 lbs. Would destroy the R8 or GT2 on track.

So basically what you are saying is that weight distribution, engine layout, drivetrain, high performance parts, supercar engineering....all that is just a bunch of bullshit that manufactures feed to customers? When in reality just slap wide tires and a turbo and you are all set.
PS. R8 and GT2 have much better power to weight ratio then Type R
Type R 306hp/295tq weight: 3150
2010 R8 V10 525hp/391tq weight: 3600
2000 Porsche GT2 456hp/450tq weight: 3150
All those Nurburgring lap times seem to me like bunch of bull........thats just my opinion
