66 3:10.8 AUDI S4 LL2 2/10
67 3:11.0 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500 LL2 11/06
68 3:11.0 AUDI RS4 LL3 8/07

Some of the results are plain impossible......

An S4 is quicker than an RS4? Come on........

random cars, on random days, on random tires with random drivers - who cares?
still it gives a ballpark figure of how close in reality those cars are. they have z06 times that differ by almost 10sec, right?

Turning him into a newt ... it's been done before.

Buying him a Panamera and forcing him to drive it everyday without the requisite brown paper bag over his head ... we're getting close

I believe that Porsche doesn't refer to it as a brown bag, it is called cocoa.

Bottom Line:

The Panamera Turbo is ridiculous fast.

It may be ugly but it can get 4 people around VIR or the ring while being damn fast. Can the GT3 do that?

Sepia Brown. You guys familiar with Porsche's sense-of-humor colors of the early-mid '70s?

How about Panamera Turbo vs Cayenne Turbo?

It's similar to having Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg as finalists in a beauty contest.
Some people just might not care who wins.

They would care were they the victim of an earned point-by from said Panamera while driving a GT3. I don't care what anyone says.

Except going fast around a race track is not a beauty contest....
