Ferrari 360 CS vs Porsche GT3 RS

This is from a recent top gear test, both got identical times around their track.. They have siad the gt3 is more mechanical and the cs is more electronic.. But overall they said the 360 was a better performance.. i would take the GT3 RS myself, and you?

I would also take the GT3 RS, I΄m Porsche-fan.
But except of this I think a car that΄s limited only to the most necessary should be more mechanical than electronic.

I missed it But i take it you mean the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale.
Stats of both cars:

Porsche 911 gt3rs:

Engine Type: Flat-6
Power bhp (kW) at RPM: 381(280) / 7300
Acceleration 0-62 mph s: 4.4
Top Speed mph (km/h): 190 (306)

Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale:

Engine type: V8
Power bhp (kW) at RPM: 425(312) / 8500
Acceleration 0-62 mph s: 4.1
Top Speed mph (km/h): 186 (300)

Personally i would take the GT3 RS, its more of a raw race car. The 360 has always seemed like a mini enzo to me, smaller power and smaller looks. You're right its better for a race car to be more mechanical than electrical, you can get so many electronics in a car that you are hardly driving it yourself, and thats not what a performace car is about.

If I could choose either one, I'd take the Ferrari. The looks and the sound just make me weak. I'm not too fond of the red wheels on the RS. If I had to buy one though, it'd probably be the Porsche as it is significantly lower in cost with equal performance.

I would take the Ferrari anytime!!

It looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, handles fantastic and it is more exlusive.

Ive read a test in a Danish Magasine where the ferrari had a topspeed of 310 km/h and the GT3 RS had a topspeed of 304 km/h

Close call, but it's the Ferrari. It's better looking and sounding than the GT3.

What were the times around the Top Gear track? I heard they were close to the top cars (Koenigsegg, Carrera GT)
