Getting 98-100% out of any car is a real challenge.

There are a lot of magical club tracks where one car beats everything but for legit big professional racing tracks like COTA, Road Atlanta, etc the LT is faster than the RS because it will hit 10-15MPH higher trap speeds and higher acceleration out of corners. It's 150-250lbs lighter and 170 more HP.

That being said- the GT2RS seems geared at killing the ACR's track dominance or more price wise: the SuperMarioCippolini Arabiatta Lambo.

There will be a lot of comparisons about the 285k lambo and 290k GT2RS. Head to head. Here come the headlines:

"Too rich to lose"
"Wing FTW"
"Axis of Horsepower"

The Ford GT vs 720S vs GT2RS vs Lambo vs 488 TurboScan SwiftyMode vs BAC Mono vs Ducati 1299 vs MB AMG GTR

We are blessed just to be teased with this much active aero and carbon brake rotors.
And soon enough we'll have Aston Martin Valkyrie vs. Mercedes AMG Project One. Evo will probably have a 75 page comparison test and hour long video!

I would rather just make much more money.

Then all hobbies are fun.

Options are great!
But I only want a 911.

The RS is close to perfect for my hobby.
Now it's perfect + 2 turbo's

I hope to make a 50% depreciation happen on my RS.
No matter how hard I tried, I never managed more than about 20%.

Love the purple thing tough, I hope I can keep it and get the new one!

Soon 991.2 GT3

in retrospect the 918 due to used values now
....
thats wrong.
just the bold ones were an issue if we speak about lack of allocations DURING THE TIME WERE YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM BRAND NEW back in the days. just this is counting... the rest is speaking about the lottery numbers of yesterday...

There must be some selfie-stick wielding hooligans in the area.
