Nice!

Tight race.

Clearly the R35 GTR had the up front position.

Would have love to see the drag stip turn into a circuit race.

Watching them all to see how well they handle, blasting out of the corners and hammering down the straights.

That would have been exciting to watch.

i saw that this morning

the 458 would have reeled it in past the 400m mark

needs exhaust and cobb for longer legs

cant beat the sound of that lf-a, almost as good as a cgt

i would be so pissed off if i just spent $500,000 on a 458 and got i beat by a datsun.

comparison bw a 458 and GTR isn't as simple as dollar vs acceleration

most 458 buyers would prob look past simple raw acceleration figures and see the added value in design, heritage, sound, feel, wank et al

what was a let down for me is the lf-a. With it's single clutch manual and mediocre quarter it's almost as if the game has already moved on before it even started

After the drag race, they took the cars for a race around Laguna Seca.

GTR came 2nd place and Ferrari took the gold by .2 of a second.

R35 GTR

VS.

Ferrari 458 Italia

yeah interesting that the 458, the R8GT, the SLS, the LFA, the Z06 all had higher mph than the R35 (indicating they were all hunting it down to different degrees). certainly the 458 would have it beat in a race even slightly longer. even the GT3 RS was only half a mile slower to the 400m mark despite being 7th outright...

cool test though.
