Was it on video? From what I recall of the news back then it was Top Gear Magazine that was testing it which is why the track wasn’t fully covered in cameras.

Hello Clarkson. How are things on the farm today?

If anything it looks even worse today. Take away the BMW badges and it might as well be a Hyundai or a Kia from before they started hiring good designers.

Totally wrong. Drivetribe was a thing when the NSX launched and they did a series of videos on it. The NSX was beaten by the GTR in a straight line despite the Nissan having less power and more weight (not to mention costing significantly less). The 991.1 Turbo destroyed them both.

Are trackday tires tires now so close to each other in performance that it all ends up being a wash?

That was outed as a myth. Owners could bring their cars home whenever they want. There’s no requirement at all to keep the cars with Ferrari, though owners could opt to. I suppose some did, considering Supercar storage has turned out to be good business for some.

Lemme just leave this here:

That’s because BMW is seemingly on a mission to make their cars as striking (read: ugly) as possible.

I think the comparison is appropriate. Even in Z07 trim the Z06 already has less aero than a standard GT3, so they’re more or less at a similar level of track special with each other.

The GT3RS OTOH is more of a road legal race car IMO. Very few manufacturers even bother to make a car that leans as much toward being an…

Lambo and Civic owners aren’t playing top trumps with each other, and the Gallardo is still going to be faster in a stoplight to stoplight drag race while sounding better which is going to be 99% of its interactions with the FL5 Type R.

Isn’t that a case of “it’s better because it’s worse”?

First time I tried a car with auto-everything was quite a revelation. DRLs were on all the time, the headlights/taillights came on when it got dark and off when it was light, like when driving through a tunnel, and the wipers turned on automatically when it rained.

So I went into this post thinking that’s a crazy amount of unpaid tolls for just 63 cars, and finished thinking maybe the tolls are a bit expensive:

Counter-counterpoint: GT4/Prologue had Tsukuba Circuit which is miles better.

lol this guy keeps going back for more less.

I too would be happy to let people tell me I’m wrong if they had to pay for each time a message was sent to my inbox.
