Yes 1 sec faster than a Z06. Makes you wonder what Z can do with the same down force doesnt it.
I wonder if the Car and Driver guys extracted all they could from the ACR. They drove a great lap but other reports from the ACR show that it isn't easy to maximize if you aren't used to driving with that much downforce.
Worse yet was the new NSX @ 2:50+ all that tech and crap... and only apolgies from C&D.
I'm waiting to see the 2017 Z06 with upgraded cooling hit that track..
then the ZR1... then the Zora
And the NSX is mid engined... guess that means mid engine is slower... but it feels so damned good...NOT

Reason: additional line about mid engined cars
It's all about chassis and balance.
It appears the P comes up a little short compared to the GS.
Yeap the GS chassis is better balanced and it has better grip.
Look at the speed that both cars did in the Esses GT3 average was 124.7 mph vs GS 127.6 almost 3 mph more despite the GT3 superior downforce. And in grip in different sections of the track the GS had the edge.
This article saids that the GT3 was slow in slow corners.

They don't get the extract every ounce of performance. There's simply not enough time for each driver to get familiar and comfortable with every car.
That means this isn't a straight measure of performance potential, but is weighted by the car's personality. The ability to mitigate drama, communicate through steering, inspire confidence in the driver, and other intangibles all become part of the equation.
I enjoy this type of article, because these factors are important to me as a buyer. If the car scares me, I'm far less likely to push closer to the limits.
Give me a car I can fearlessly take to 8/10 or higher and I'll take it there often.
^The Grand Sport truly appears to be a drivers car. It even has the manual option.
I love this pic! The LL information was released online today and this picture showed up not only under the Grand Sport information, but also under the GT3RS information...now that's a burn!

I can see that...
With that light front-end I would think it might be prone to understeer going in and the 338 lbs. of torque wouldn't help it coming out.

no one outside North America gives a flying f'k about VIR, everyone knows the true test is Nurburgring.....why hasn't the General done any official C7 'Ring times, what are they afraid of?

Maybe because the General believes no one in NA give a flying f'k about the Nurburgring?

Wow, where did that come from? With the IMSA series making a stop there with factory backed Audis, Porsches, Lamborghini, Ferraris, BMWs, Aston Martin and Minis I'm pretty sure they're aware of it. But of course you're right.
