Default Gt3 6sp vs 19 gt3rs

Maybe an RS is NOT an RS.

Maybe the 3RS driver didn't want to be such a douche-bag on a public street?
WTF is wrong with people?

im not a believer in the benefits of PCCB for 90% of people (although i have them and consider them a must option based on visual appeal alone). However I do think that the longevity of them, on non tracked cars is a really nice selling point (although still not worth that much coin really). But I do wonder what the benefit of sig reduction in unsprung mass are, again i don't think that would delete PDK's advantage and the supposed extra power of the RS (which im not sure is actually a thing). PDK is superior to manual in all aspects of performance, but maybe given the short pull of this race the manual was already in the correct gear and the road speed allowed the manual to be in maximum power where as the pdk gearing was just off a little. From a dig the pdk will walk a manual all day.

I'd smoke both of you in a drag/roll race.

]The advantage of unsprung mass wouldn't show up in a straight line, it's during dynamic changes, curves, bump absorption where you could tell a difference. Multiple tests show that ceramics work to maintain more consistent stopping distances over many attempts, where steel could fade. Not in any way related to anything with this test

The new 4.0 is a different animal.

Yeah, I'm not a believer in the benefits of a GT car for 90% of the people either.

But here we are.

Brake rotors are not just unsprung mass though, but also rotational mass and that is the reason that would make any (small) difference in acceleration.

At 0:43 they pass an SUV,
right lane had to unexpectedly back off but you can see their relative speeds to the SUV and how they did not anticipate overtaking sooner
