No 991 GT3 in Motor Trend Drive's COTY competition
#32
With only 3 released in-car lap vids and only 1 instance of Randy saying anything during the lap (TTS lap), it definitely looked like the TTS was very engaging with how often Randy had to work the wheel.

No serious surprise with the outcome. They loved the throwback nature combined with the modern electronics of the Z/28. A similar acknowledgement went towards the Alfa with its simplicity. I'm sure GM is glad they didn't make a Vette available (coincidence?) so there wouldn't be any marketing issues going forward. But, we may see a back-to-back award winner (ala Porsche) with the Z06 next year.
For those that aren't interested in watching the whole hour long video, skip to around 33 min for the TTS (and nod to the GT3) and then to the last 5 min (for 918 and super fast lap lovers)!

I think the surprise really was the 4C , I thought it's a Cayman competitor, but it really looks like a great drivers car, while Z/28 probably the best bargain of the bunch!

As for the STi, Randy said he had a hard time dialing in the suspension given how much adjustability it has so a better time could've been possible.
