    I am looking into a 458 race car and always thought the GT2 car was much faster than the GT3, given its superior aerodynamics. However, I have discovered that the GT3 car is lighter and has more power. Which car is "faster" and what are the differences I have not mentioned. Thanks

    GT2 is faster around the track due to its superior aerodynamics and suspension. Reason it is being less powerful and heavier is a so called "balance of performance". Another words in case they make it lighter and more powerful than GT3 it will become too quick for its class. In case you are looking for a track toy (peculiar choice but still), you can always de-restrict an engine and trim some weight off by playing with a ballast.
