I was fortunate enough to drive a GT2 and a Scuderia back to back at Lime Rock a few weekends ago and the GT2 was clearly my favorite car. Speed of this car is simply unbelievable.

That web magazine is just awesome. The quality of the photos, video, web layout.....

It must shame the North American publishers when they go through it themselves.

Drivers Republic is my #1 choice for a car magazine right now. Chris Harris is a down to earth guy, with great memory and knowledge on cars. By the way, he is a Porsche guy.

I can't wait until Lamborghini builds a Superleggera version of the LP560/4 with just RWD to make it lighter (As they did to the Diable years ago). That would probably be the ultimate non-exotic sport car.

The flaws they mentioned with the GT2 are actually things we can live with, it is a Turbo car.

thanks, that was a great review. i just cant see spending almost 2x gt3 $ to basically add a turbo. when youre over $200k, the car need to be totally unique so i would have to go italian.

i drove a gt2 and scuderia back to back on the track and there was no comparison to me: the scuderia was in another league. the gt2 felt clumsy, soft and from the 19th century, while the ferrari was amazingggg......whole'other'level.....
