Just to note: a Blitz modified MKIV Supra with 606hp ran the ring in 7:49.

Congrats to Honda for running a 7:43, but they supped up an econobox. The two cars aren't in the same class. |
And? We shall ignore that it's barely faster than a Civic just because they aren't in the same class? Toyota's premium sports car is just barely faster than a "supped up econobox". And you find that to be a good or acceptable thing? Seriously? If I were Toyota I wouldn't even release that time if it really does run a 7:40 or slower.
And older chassis sucked in comparison to modern chassis. Modern performance cars are much better performance cars than their older versions.
