That might be about my Singer Porsche DLS I’ve got on order.
My newest thread is all about my garage, that’s nearly 30 pages now.

The blue was stunning. It was great to get up close to one and look at all the details firsthand. Unfortunately I missed it starting. article said:
an LFA Nurburgring Package, with just the 570hp remember, lapped the Northern Loop in 7:14.64. On Bridgestone Potenzas. Bear in mind that a 670hp Ferrari 488 GTB could only do a 7:21.63 in the hands of sportauto half a decade later,"
That doesn't add up. How is the 488 that much slower???Vee12V said:

I thought that too. However the LFA can do things that other faster cars can’t. My 675lt is nearly a second faster 0-62 than the LFA, my 458 SA is over half a second faster.
They both handle like they’re on rails, however the LFA just never lets up.
The grip is immense, the way it revs is just crazy fast and the whole dynamics of the car are just out of this world.
It sts all over my Carrera GT and that’s a bloody good car.
There’s just something so good about it.
I race the 488 at Fiorano and it’s an amazing car but it just doesn’t compare to the LFA. It feels a bit soft!!!!
I’m looking forward to my Pista and seeing how that fairs up to the others out there.
I can actually see them setting this time against the 488 if they get a driver with balls big enough to push it this hard around the ring.
It ALWAYS deserves your respect, anything less and you’re in serious trouble.

That doesn't add up. How is the 488 that much slower???Genuine question here. What could they be testing when they appear to have added wheel arch extentions to the front of the car yet don't appear to have widened the track to suit? The photo's seem to show the front wheels still being well within the new extension's. Is it just a red herring to throw folks off the scent and come up with conclusions that are incorrect?
