^ hey good comeback .

Hmm. it looks like it needs more power in the mid to top end. It would be nice to see the latest TTS hold up in stock trim against cars like this without having to play around with aftermarket turbos and tunes.

it was bit of a joke, the TTS is plenty fast and the friction of the AWD system doesnt help at the top end. I bet its just as fast, if not faster on track vs the F12.
Its silly to say 560+ HP is not enough but if im putting down 200G's I'd want more, well at least optically.

50 bucks says the F12 is another one of Ferrari's "press fleet specials".

Do the same race with a customer's car and I bet you'd get a closer result.

The F12 is a beast, but still came in 2nd to the 991 GT3 in the recent EVO performance car of the year competition

Two entirely different cars. Both have their place and followers. I'd buy an F12 in a heartbeat if it wouldn't cost me my marriage. Well.......

The new Turbo S would have been 8 to10 car lengths ahead of the F12 from the start if launch control was used and the TS would have been able to shift it self...The TSs are the fastest that way,I know, a human can not out perform the PDK in Sport Plus.The F12 may have, caught it at the end because of the HP,but it would have been difficult with the lead theTS would have had.The Benz does not compare to either...

991GT2 would be a proper contender for this competition.

Hard to respect the opinion of any person who does not make the effort to correctly pronounce the name of the manufacturer.

The fittie on reception at one's local UK OPC will have Porsch"a" off to a T but you will find most proper Brit Porsche guys say it just like this guy, it is considered a bit knobby to pronounce it in faux German.
