Even against a Porsche you can see how well the car handles.

Mike would have done better still had he not been burdened with a passenger. Even a small passenger will markedly impair acceleration, braking, and handling.
While I'm not disagreeing with your basic point, what I took away from this video was further confirmation that Mike drives well. Mike exploits his car's potential better than either the Porsche or Boss 302 drivers do with
their cars.
Put Mike at the wheel of either of those two cars, and I'm confident he'd turn times that easily eclipse the times he set in the BRZ/FR-S.
