My, My testy are we? Please answer this question. What is the official Ring time for the GT2RS and what is the official Ring time for the 720?

What I am having trouble explaining to you is what we are arguing is the fastest Ring time for the GT2RS and 720. If I was an auto magazine writer and drove the GT2RS at the Ring and did it in 8:10 would you consider it to be best time for the GT2RS? Of course not. Give me the factory drivers who can maximize the potential of the car and provide a time. Has McLaren done that with the 720 and if so what was the time? If not, why not?

Regarding my experience with performance cars and whether I should participate on the Board I will leave to others. But out of curiosity what performance car/cars do you own now and how many have you owned?

All I know, is that GT2RS with the bright bordello red interior and gold wheels should be allowed to drive windows up.

Because your head will wobble off at 170MPH into T17 and you will never ever, ever have to give a point by.

Fact.

Rather obviously Mclaren have not set an official time around the ring. You will need to ask Mike Flewitt or someone high up at Mclaren as to why they are not setting official times at the 'ring though rather than little old me.

We are discussing which car is faster not which car has so far set the fastest ring time. As such if you believe pitting a mag driver time against a factory driver time is at all relevant suit yourself.

Well since you asked, I feel somewhat obliged to reply. I have a carrera gt, a 4.0rs and a Mclaren 12c. I have previously had a gt4, r8 v10, f430, a few M3s, a standard 997s and probably a few other cars that may or may not be relevant. Does that satisfy your curiosity?

4.7LB/HP vs 5.5LB/HP; that power to weight ratio advantage and slicks it'd be more like embarrassing Cups
