The fixed wing and lower HP tells the story! ME beats RE on track eventually!

I mean I agree, I’m just not sure how it relates to what I said.

Default Mclaren's are light, ME, and won't need ridiculous stripping! ;)

By the time the ZR1 even gets back to the Ring, there will be other cars that would've destroyed any time it would have hoped to achieve.

Such is progress.

Nothing he writes relates to anything anyone is ever talking about. He generally has poorly written conversations with himself.

Default True! ;)

It didn't look to be directly related before I connected the dots.
Interesting how close the relationships are between completely different platforms that have the same agenda, 'Dah Boy Troll' above.
(Folks! I Benchmark cars to save time. Guess What!?)

Mclaren's Senna Not making it!?
A lot of car companies make a business of selling cars that never make The Ring. Some here minimize/Not evaluate-benchmark-And duplicate VW when they do. Can't$

I am at the point now where I don't want to hear the word "Nürburgring" or "' 'Ring" uttered from Tadge's (or anybody else's) lips ever again. Done.

Fine, just kick *** on American tracks and that's it.

End thread, that makes everything else look slow now! It honestly looks fake being so crazy fast, don't know how he dealt with the shadows at that speed! He sure does bounce around a lot and could have gone even faster than 229mph had it been geared differently.

Default Backup Computers! ;)

They are illegal in competitive racing!

The RS's?

Such real-time differential adjustment may be bettered in the future as GPS and artificial intelligence are applied to learn corners and essentially set up the differential before the car arrives at a corner. Is that good thing? We'll let you decide.

Lightning Lap of production cars, all driven by the same driver, at speeds much closer to how normal people use their cars, is a MUCH better evaluator of a sports car's performance.

imo, all computerized controls of the chassis and shifting should be removed in professional racing.

The fact that a computer can do it faster, isn't the point.

i'm probably going to buy a kit car in time, in part because it's a completely analog experience. No traction control, no abs, manny trans, no BS.

I agree, "may the best man/woman win"...not the best machine.

For several years, I raced just such a kit car (a Noble). I agree with you that there's really nothing like it in terms of a car that the weekend racer can afford to campaign.

I was at The right place at the right time walked into a Porsche dealership for the first time and walked out with a GT3RS 2019 for sticker!

that's a lucky day. You just made money. What kind of agreement did they make you sign to not resell quickly?... if any?
