Haha that is so true. I am 6'2", with my Stilo and top air I had to slouch in the seat to make it work. Not the most comfortable car to drive on the track for a slightly tall guy but man did it sound good! I loved every minute of the soundtrack.

The three cars are all awesome. Macca a beast in a straight line. I'm surprised the RS beats it so convincingly (1.5s) on the track. Porsche not really punching above its weight as much as in the past since cost is nearly as high as the others. If I had to choose 1 I'd find it genuinely hard to pick.

The new Performante looks really good. Maybe Porsche engineering wizardry is making its way into them in a big way now.

I'm not sure how many of you subscribe to Motor Trend on Demand, but I just watch the Best Drivers Car episodes and thought I'd let you guys know the results.
1. Huracan performante
2. GT2RS
3. McLaren 720s
The GT2RS had the quickest lap time, but the Huracan was more enjoyable to drive. I suspect it had something to do with the soundtrack. I wish they had a GT3 or GT3RS in the competition. Kudos to Lambo for making a great car.

Perf is 1.5 seconds slower than GT2RS on a relatively short track, seats designed for folks 5" 6" tall and 130 lbs and lots of mid corner understeerteer.... She's a winner...

I take the Lambo all day over the other 2
1) NA vs turbo (sound)
2) Looks (love the Huracan)
3) have 2 P-cars, so the GT2RS is less desirable, again from a looks perspective

Mc lose despite is way lighter
neither they are in Motorsport competition
Why?
The tires aren't the Mc problem
That Mc turbo engine is overcooked
720 is lighter more than 100lbs and still lose on a short track
go figure on the Ring
not to mention the Mc turbolag...
neither how ugly is the front compared to anything..
I agree on the last place for Mc and I guess they are ghost in Motorsport not only because the crap engine ...either the aero on these must be a nightmare
Ford Porsche Ferrari Bmw etc have spent billions and years and people to develop their cars that Mc can t simply afford
basically Mc is just a specialised car parts bin assembler whilst the others have the in house whole product engineering and that s the result

Quite some time ago there were some rumors on a RWD Performante, but nothing lately ? Anybody more news on this ?

Removing the Cup2-R and adding the Cup2 current gen (faster than the Cup2 in the .1RS and .1 GT3) would place the 991 GT2 RS in the high 1:29s, right there with the 720S and Huracan.
Motor Trend evaluates the cars from the experience perspective, feedback, performance, sounds, etc. If they had their hands on a 991.2 GT3 RS, it could have been their top choice.
The three cars on top are remarkable, and each one appeals different drivers. I would choose the 991 GT2 RS regardless of the industrial vacuum machine sound, a Cayman GT4 sounds better, a GT3 much better, a GT3 RS much better sound too.

Did the tires made the gt2 win? Or was it just the bad reliability of Mcmac?
