Bart, the 550's at LeMans had 600+ hp, whereas the 360's ran with about 440 +/-.

The results you are talking about relates to full on race cars not road cars.

Thus a 550 race car would resolve many of the cornering speed issues that the road car has compared to the 360 road car.

It would still be true that on MOST race tracks that a 360 would be quicker than a 550, IMO.

They're in different classes, and the 550 GTS car makes a lot more power.

I have checked the results at both Sebring & Le Mans. In both races the 550 finish better than the 360. Many people have told me the 360 is faster than the 550 except for top end. Am I missing something?
