Here's one from the driver of GT4. Impressed how the M3 was able to keep up with both the GT4 and the Lambo.

A joy to watch. I love the nonchalant commentary in the M3 while going flat out.

Kenny,

It seems to me like this is a function of the respective drivers and less about a real comparison of each car's capability. Still, it's a fun watch from each car.

Absolutely, a lot had to do with the driver skills. Keep in mind the F80 M3 also had 4 passengers (and he made note on his tire degradation), so a testament of the ringtaxi car driver. You can tell how comfortable he felt all along the way holding casual conversations with the passengers and easily caught up with the couple ahead of him anytime he was delayed by traffic. I believe the driver is Dale Lomas and his blog is here: http://bridgetogantry.com/2/

Love the classy cool commentary and his childlike thrill when nailing a turn. Great line up of car to driver performance ratios too. 1/3 2/2 3/1

They were going quick, about an 8:00 bridge to gantry, but the cars are all capable of much faster laps. 8:00 is still fast enough to be fun to watch!

For reference, Captain Unknown, who's on this board, can do a 7:30 (BtG)!


And of course Sport Auto did a full lap in 7:42

Kinda painful watching the GT4 driver, though, he seems to consistently downshift 5-10 mph faster than he should.

I liked how the GT4 driver was channeling Michael Jackson.

The GT4 sounded absolutely amazing from inside the cabin, I wonder if this has the stock exhaust.
Cant wait for mine to arrive.
