You are obviously mad If I could afford a GT3RS I'd borrow the rest and get the 360

Best episode of TG for a long while I thought

It would be a really hard choice I think I have allways likes Porka's more. I must admit the Ferrari sounded better.

what im confused about is how the hell Clarkson managed to do the bF1 test driver ? Especially as both cars are the same round a track ? Confused......

I fookin missed it, and *won't* be asking if it's repeated (although if anyone wants to tell me... )

Was it the Stradale they used?

GT3RS will take a year of track abuse and need to visit the dealer once.............for a change of oil.

I feel it would be a different story for the 360 cs........................

Whenever I see a Ferrari at a track day it is being driven "gay", although the guy driving may well have the nicest macthing gloves and boots in the pits!

Only once have I seen a Ferrari being driven hard on track.

a) He is a better driver than most of us, and certainly better than he likes us to believe.

b) Luca did seem to be going sideways a lot

c) Made good TV

Yes, loved the way the RS is faster than the CS when clarkson is racing an ex F1 driver, yet Stig only manages to get an equal lap time.

The one thing that struck me was this:


Clarkson said that Ferrari had shaved 120 kilos off a normal 360 to make the CS. The 360 is a road going supercar. He then added that Porsche had 'Only' manged to shave 50 kilos off the GT3 to make the GT3 RS. Thing is the GT3 is allready a track car so how much lighter is a GT3 RS from a normal 911.

Would rather have the RS and spend the £50 on something comfy!!
