Here's the RGT that was in my run group on Friday at LRP... It was blistering fast. Passed me in one session and in another he started out about 10 cars in front of me at the start of the session and 17 laps later as we pitted in I saw he was only about 5 cars behind me... Almost caught up - I think another 5 laps and he would have passed me.

That doesn't sound right to me (ws the clutch ok?), it has more power than a GT3, less weight and a better chassis, I don't know what the relative tyres were, but on comparable tyres I would expect to be faster in the RK than a GT3, and in a GT3 Cup my lap times are more than competitive, from which one might assume I do know how to drive a GT3.

So I'm not talking about hanging about, and I know that HP is quick (he taught his son, after all), and scared the living bejaysus out of one of my friends who is a former IMSA champion, he was so quick.

Nice car, but for that money, I'd take a GT3 for the street & a GT3RS for a track car.
