I now have my car at the residence I lived when I still owned superbikes so am driving the GT car on roads that I can compare. Central Fl., is pretty damn flat and straight but I found small places to test the fast scooters with elevation and curves. One of my favorites is very near my house where after a longish high speed sweeping corner to the right you have to change direction for a sharp 90 degree turn to the left that involves an uphill turn where a small plateau is reached followed by a modest downhill straight. On the scooter I used to be on the throttle hard into the right sweeper then tap the rear brake to stand her up and dart to the left and then rear brake slide into the sharp left corner getting the front wheel pointed in the right direction then back on the throttle hitting the plateau while still cornering which resulted in the scooter getting airborne while crossed up a bit. It was a pretty heady move but back in the day I could handle it easily so not out of my comfort zone. Granted this section of road is public roads so traffic can be busy at times which precludes such moves obviously, but if you caught a clear opening it was a really great and challenging/rewarding small section of road. So yesterday, after putting my tires up to psi spec I went for a nice loop around my part of town and on the way home, without thinking about it, I happen the catch that part of the road open and thought what the hell let's see what we got here. I pressed her pretty damn hard, about equal or faster then my 215 HP 386 lbs. last superbike. The change of direction out of the fast right hand sweeper was uneventful and I obviously didn't try to brake slide the GT2 into the sharp left hander like a scooter, just brake and turn the steering wheel to find a nice apex, but through the turn going uphill I got back on the the throttle pretty hard, trying to mimic the scooter, and the GT2 responded by bouncing/"skiddering" across the uphill corner clawing for grip and when I hit the plateau I know at least one tire and maybe two came off the ground. I wouldn't say I launched the car like the scooter as at least two or three tires remained in contact with the ground but as I said above at least one or two tires definitely left the ground, It all happened so fast and the GT2 never felt anything but entirely in control. I was and am super impressed with how the GT2 handled the corner...the sheer thrill of the experience has me possibly rethinking my decision to not DE the car at this time. We will see downrange what I decide. But regardless the GT2 RS is nothing short of brilliant.

Not me, of course.

I only feel compelled to respond when they post nonsense like he did about his mad skillz on a 'scooter'. Kinda like Pista Boy over on the GT4 forum who boiled the brake fluid in his new GT4 in street driving, and swore it wasn't his poor braking technique but rather his superior skill and speed. Then doubled down with dick swinging and name dropping that had nothing to do with the issue at hand.
