Yup and Savy strikes me as a first class traveling guy.

Pretty ballsy on Izzone's part. Best time of the cheater fiat is 2:17's i believe and that seems very doable with a 4.0 on equeal tires, Hoosiers....

I also believe the Fiat is faster. Fiat does sub 2:15 in cold weather and slicks, with the Geico caveman driving.

Not with cave man driving but a 4.0 will pretty easily do 2:15's on slicks in cold weather....

Agreed.
Rad's Fiat did 2;17 on HoHo, 93F ... and with a lot of time left on the table.

lighter, a lot more power. Can't compare. Rad's Fiat is a big time cheater, all 4.0s around are fairly stock.
Fiat has so much more power that's not even funny.
The more I think the more I want a gee tee twice.

Not that I could afford one but a super clean 430 Scud is $200k or more plus the cost of parts and service and insurance is way more than the GT2RS. Gorgeous looking car though.

Inside yeas. Gorgeous. Most I'm sure will disagree but they look like kit cars to me.

So you would rather have a 200k volkswagon interior with leather glued to a plastic dash?

Have you ever looked at a full leather 996....peeled up garbage after a few years

Lets get this thread back on topic so Peter can sell his GT3.2RS and get the Scud killer GT2RS that he wants and has earned.

GT2RS>Scud. $ for $ they aren't even close, even Rads BS can't make the Fiat better.

I would, but Mike mentioned looks and that was all I was referring to..To me interior looks nicer in Fiat, outside not so much. I only like the look of front engine V12 Fiats. I think most will disagree with me on that as well.

+1. Get the orange one in Miami before I do wider front fenders for the 10" wheels, CUP front bumper with extra cooling and CUP rear spoiler, Turbo's and intercoolers to make reliable 700HP and drive circles around anything..

Perhaps. I'm very happy with any Porsche RS :-)

The GT2RS got a 2.4 secs faster lap time than a 3.8RS at Laguna Seca, same day and same driver, still it could not touch lap times by the Viper ACR, Z06, ZR1 and MP4-12C. GT2RS is very fast, it is expected for a 620Hp car compared to my 397whp Fiat.

Check this out, after rain in the previous session, some traffic, and 90+ degree weather with high humidity, this is the day I blew the gearbox sensors. The car was running at 30mm higher ride height, and 52 lbs heavier than today, less power than today, and it is about to lose another 52 lbs in a few days. On better track conditions, a few weeks later, none of the Aero Beetle boys could break 2:21s on fresh Hoosier, and that included the GT3DE guy that spanked all the Mancation crowd.

I saw you test fitting a Scuderia already, so you're one bank check away from superiority.

Rad, what are you saying exactly besides lies about you HP?
You keep forgetting I was there on duno day. Please stop. Your car is very close to 500HP to the wheels.

They look great inside, I fit very well, but that 200K cashiers check on my desk is made out to Porsche.

I am 100% sure a GT2RS is more then 2 seconds faster then a GT3RS 3.8 Maybe equal fast to a 4.0, but guess a 4.0 is 2-3 seconds faster then a 3.8 and a GT2RS is another 2-3 seconds faster then a 4.0..

So your TBL is 2:14.4 on A6 with the above issues?
Does that mean you will do a 2:12 this winter?



Assuming same tires, me thinks a GT2RS can get to 2:12-2:13 and me thinks a GT2RS will run circles around the fiat.
