RAD, I know your high spring rates require that you use sticky tires, so I'll give you that....but calling A6's DOT tires is cheating too....lol.

Rad, throw the towel, sooner is cheaper. You gave it your all.
You are on your own at the track and no other fiats will be joining your lonely self anytime soon. Come back from the dark side.

4.0RS should be 4 secs faster than Scuderia at Sebring, or I can just run 2:22 on RA1, but there is too much Aero Beetle traffic at 2:22.

It is getting boring, so I'm going to start playing with the Coxster and chase Aero Beetles with a much lesser hardware, a wannabe Porsche.

08 Cayenne GTS is reliable.
09+ Cayman/Boxster are reliable too.
Supposedly the 4.0RS is the first reliable GT3, but we will never know, because most of them are sitting as garage queens or collector items, and the only one being barely driven (Mr. Cuatro punto cero) is driving at 6/10th.
Ugly and all, the Panamera Turbo S is the best Sedan ever made, I want one with a tow hitch to haul a light trailer and a Lotus Elise.

RA1s are slower than a fresh set of Michellin Sport Cups as used for Nurburgring, and RA1s slower than one lap wonder and guerrilla war type DE driving A6s.
Therefore, your 4 seconds speculation is really like talking about apples and oranges and speculating about their comparisons.

If the 4.0RS is claiming Sebring 2:18 on street tires, what times are you guys in the 3.8RS getting on street tires? how about slicks?
Rad, what tires are you using and what is your personal best in the Fiat at Sebring on slicks or street tires?

Man Ferraris get no love on this board.

Scuderia: Issues ==> Brakes
VW Aero Beetle: Issues ==> broken axles, broken diff, brakes (affordable fix), blown engines (a few ones towed from track days in the last few months), RMS leaks, coolant lines falling apart, cracked side mufflers, cracked center muffler, bent drop links, broken rear sway bar mounts, broken clutch and pressure plates.
I can carry a bunch of brake pads and go through the day, but you can't carry a spare engine or tranny to go through the day.
