It's not just the lap times which interesting but also the through gear figures between say GT2 v Lambo Murchi i.e 80-160KMH in fourth gear the Lambo does it in 10.2 secs, whilst the GT2 does it in 6.4 - a bit of a difference and nearly 5 seconds from 80-180KMH in fifth gear.

How is that helpful as they are both in the wrong gear for that speed range? In gear times are useless when they pick a stupid gear for one or both of the cars. Would you really try to overtake in 4th when you should be in 2nd?

So is the GT3 CUP or the GT2 the 911 Daddy? The GT3 CUP takes it around Hockenheim but the GT2 t it around the Ring?



Also suprised that the 4WD Gallardo goes around Hockemheim quicker than the GT2 and that the TT is not that much quicker than the 997S (355bhp compared to the 996 TTs 420bhp)

Dan, I understand what your saying but it's just a COMPARISON as the site indicates.smile
