Nuerburgring times are to sports/supercars what the HP wars were to the muscle/pony cars.
It's the best time to be obsessed with cars

I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
When clarkson drove the T1 it had a ton of problems. A floor panel came loose, there was a problem with the car's petrol injection system, a problem with the front suspension, and not to mention at goodwood the car's throttle got stuck wide open.
I believe in comparison to the greater stock car market the performance of these cars is remarkable compared to what it would take from other companies to get similar performance. One mild example is the 911 turbo which is 25k more than a ZR-1.
Aye the Spec V, then hopefully the C7 Vette will get out the gate before GM becomes a subsidiary of a Mexican shopping cart assembler or B) we run out of juice.Originally Posted by kidty

But Porsche aren't aiming for BFYB, they still use full steel in most cars but can afford to charge people whatever because they are Porsche and you won't find their badges on anything less than a pernis extender(excepting the GT3, which is one of the most marvelous mechanisms made IMO).I believe in comparison to the greater stock car market the performance of these cars is remarkable compared to what it would take from other companies to get similar performance.

Horsepower wins races. Torque pulls trailers.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

300 kg less than the GT-R , & with 150 Hp more
3 seconds faster
300 kg is a hell of a lot of weight that the tyres are not having to fight
