Porsche Carrera GT VS Ferrari 599

Oh wow that Carrera GT still kicked his ass. Cool post and probably pretty recent. I would take a Carrera GT over the 599. Joey would you take? How about a Vanquish?

 

I uploaded that video to Youtube myself. Check out the 599/612 section.
There's also another video that I posted of a race between 599 and SLR. That thread is not getting any replies. I guess people don't know what to say, since in many mag tests the 599 was reported to be faster than the SLR.
I'm going to add that its not the 1st time that mag reports and ferrari power claims have been exaggerated.

 

Nice upload Hovik. It's linked all over the place.

 

Only qualm is are both drivers similarily experienced?

 

Doesn't matter on the 599. All you gotta do is floor it. It even upshifts for you.
Different story for the CGT.

 

I will give you that to some degree but what about it being 600+ pounds lighter(almost 700)? Sorry Im an F-car fanboy, this is F-chat .

 

I'm not bashing the 599. And I do agree that the CGT and the 599 are in different categories. Somebody on the other thread requested a video between the SLR and the 599 claiming that it would be more appropriate, which I posted.
Outcome - you can see for yourself.

 

Damn the liking of the SLR just went up 10 points in my book and for a car that is now trading hands for 310 - 315G's Retail is to me now a good car to buy. Joey how about one of those in a few years?

 

I don't think this is a fair race since the CGT is more of a supercar and is more focused while the 599 was made for traveling long distances comfortably....

not like you guys didn't know that already lol.

 

Basically. The 599 would most likely be up against something like a Spyker or SLR, or maybe even a GT3.

 

Man oh man, one day

 

I only have one experience in an SLR... riding shotgun while it was pushed hard to 150 and back in a relatively short distance. The car felt very loose and squirrely. Of course it cldve been an issue with that one particular car, but it was definitely not confidence inspiring at high speed.
