The NSX-R times are not correct.

Year 2000 NSX-R (3.0L) 8:03.00

Year 2002 NSX-R (3.2L) 7:56.73

If ever Honda decided to get back into producing a hot hatches they could challenge Renault.
Possibly Ford,if they were to produce a 3rd generation RS Focus?
At the moment VW hasn't any cars that could challenge the Megane RS Trophy,even the Golf R is about 15 secs slower.However people have to remember that it is only ONE track/road albeit the best known track in the world,so this particular Megane may be beaten on other certain tracks.
