wonder how the R8 GT will do. the V10 did hock- 1.10.9 and nord- 1.44. obvious testing conditions aside i expect the GT will be sign faster and quicker. is it somewhat in the german price range of the GT2???

each car shows its different handling minutae on each track. very interesting.

Good to have all these chronos consolidated thanks Eric for the (easy) effort...

All these fantastic machines are soo close both in pure perfs and track times despite some significant differences in terms of building characteristics, weight balance, equipement, primary use, etc.

As of today one can really choose the (super)car made for him and get the best very close to the best roadcar perf.

The GT-R continues to amaize me in every aspect.

Waiting for supertest on the GT2 RS.....

Will be a killer !!!

I already red few in depht "first contact with the beast" such as Evo and this think is crazy fast : during the testing phase Chris Harris met a 599 on German autobahn and he simply killed it. He also says that the only faster feeling he ever got from 100-200kmh was with the Veyron !!!

I have the paper as well and damn this thing seems good.

Not easy to drive to the limit though but one must deserve it that is the beauty of it.
