It's actually the worst price wise. People would have hundreds of thousands of dollars of losses built in to be able to get the Pista.

You should follow the driver (Oliver) on instagram. He has significant experience with all the marques.

Senna on tires with the grip level of the cheater Cup2R used in the Pista-press car and GT2RS-MR would lap even faster, much faster.

Cup2R are producing Hoosier R7 levels of grip, it is the first street legal tire I know of that can produce those levels of R7 grip. I have run plenty of Trofeo R in other cars, and they can't touch a Hoosier R7.

Senna is faster than the results obtained. SVJ is legit and a 991.2 GT3RS on Cup2R will also touch those lap times. Pista is a press car. GT2RS is an Manthey upgraded car.

...where can I find a Senna at MSRP? or a little ADM? I don't want to settle for a 720S and the 600LT doesn't appeal to me.

Where, with whom and how often would you track a Senna? Hyper cars are impractical to track consistently at normal HPDE days and private days are far and few and the typical people who would come to those (ie., the other people you are tracking with, won't be the fastest people).

Are you talking about the same pista in this video? If so, you are way off the mark. I don't know how many people on this site like or even care about the pista, but I can pretty much tell where you stand already. The pista in this video was an owner's car and on basic cup2's. Not a press car, so that excuse won't fly.

Most tests are done this way, take them all with a grain of salt. I will say in this case you could predict the finishing order with or without similar tires.

Funny how you picked this video out of all when in the beginning there is a little gt2rs from a member here that disappears completely after 2 corners to never be seen even in the horizon after lol.

The Senna is the only car I've ever driven which felt like it offered actual downforce even at (significant) road speeds. Like others here have said, it's otherworldly. Drove it back to back against the McLaren P1 on a nice little test route in Mexico last year, and while the P1 is fractionally faster in acceleration, the lack of mass of the senna when accelerating and braking for turns, absolutely murdered the P1. To me the Sanna is like an F 40, in that it was not considered as highly in its day, but will go down as a seminal car in history.

Agreed. I just love seeing test for lap times being made with same driver and tires on same day / conditions. Makes for a real car to car comparison I can believe in.
But yes, the order was guessed prior and I was correct also.
