LFA vs GTR vs GT2RS vs ZR1 vs 430F1

good video, really shows the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the cars. GT2RS has some ferocious straightline pace putting those 600bhp to use with effect!

Unbelievable what the GTR can do to cars which on paper should have it.
The gearbox in the Pork looked a nightmare.
The LFA deffo fell out of the ugly tree.
Bet Ferrari are happ that hey can just about beat a Vette

Love the straightline haul of the vette and the 911.
As much as it pains me to admit it the mistaken gearchange in the GT2 only serves to emphasise the usefulness of flappy paddles in such situations. You could see that it cost the 911 several car lengths in a situation where he'd probably have gotten past and then away from the LFA.

The Corvette beat the Ferrari though.
There's no doubting the capabilities of ther GTR. A friend had a GTR and it was very quick, but I thought it would be quicker knowing what super cars it beats. The thing that winds me up is I'll probably never go in a faster car now

The LFA is mental, especially over 7k rpm!!!! The GTR is also totally mental off the line, showed it's weight under braking mind.
GT2 driver was rank - look through the hours of Walter or Francois driving 911s and never see a fluffed change, that guy had one every corner!!!
Ferrari was very surprisingly slow for a race prepped machine!

The only RHD LFA in the worrrld was at VMax on Saturday.
No one was allowed to go up against it for 'insurance' purposes.(Lexus were also filming the LFA promo film)
It was absolutely flying (driven by EVO's Dicky Meaden), sounds fabulous and actually looks better in the metal than pics.

As entertaining as those vids are Id also like to see each driver do say 5 laps in every car and then post the average for each for a true picture on what is fastest.

GT2RS is a standard road car.
Who knows what had been done to the GTR as they are so easy to tune.
My guess was it actually only the Datsun and the Porsche were standard. The LFA looked like it was in race trim.

Actually I think Trout has a point, if the driver of the 911 gt2 didn't mess up the gear changes then I reckon he would've been closer to the GT-R. Although I liked the Yoush(not sure if thats how you spell it) comment from the driver of the GT-R when he goes past the 911 (It means yes/good in japanese) and when the 911 driver messes up the gear change on the straight the LFA driver says dotsa porsche (meaning whats wrong Porsche)

Another GTR is faster than everything vid... by the japs...
The GTR is great, and I would love one but how quiet was it inside, and looked fairly boring to drive.
I sold my 997 a few months ago for a flappy paddle Audi and although the Audi is quick, nothing beats the sound of the flat 6 on full chat other than a flat plane crank V8.
