Rad is certainly not advocating side by side drag racing during a DE event.

it`s interesting to watch. i was told by guys who do it often that gt3 rs car with proper rubber and if properly launched should run 1/4 mile in high 10sec - low 11sec depending on skill. here we see 11.9.
12 sec car... '09 DFI PDK car runs in low 12sec - like 12.3-12.4 or so.

Interesting to watch and didn't expect the GTR to beat the 458 Italia, but it did 
But will the GTR stand the abuse on a track ? Let's say 5-6 fast laps ?

It takes around 4 laps to overheat here around Sebring at summer time, and trust me I was nice to the car.
Oil and coolant were fine, but tranny fluid was going thru the roof. I let off at 250.
Wasn't driving on kill mode either.
Stock everything 2:28 being gentle to the brakes.

60-130 is a better indicator of acceleration at speed. In this segment, the Italia, Z06, LFA, GT3 RS (gears get tighter once in 3rd gear), R8 GT would fly by the GTR.

I think the Cayman R impresses me the most.

Torque is almost completely irrelevant to quarter mile times. After the launch, it's pretty much entirely determined by power to weight and shift times. (torque is pretty irrelevant to the launch as well)

Still this car puts up some good #'s.
That vette is fast, as the article says, wonder what the true potential could be if not for those crappy seats.
The GT3 is old school. I kinda like that.
