    re nov issure road and track is so unfair

    in their Ultimate GT Showdown - Comparison Test article they showdown the fastest production porsche 911gt3 with carbon brakes and probably r compound and fastest production corvette zr1 with carbon brakes and probably r compound with the slower production 430 with steelbrakes

    fastest production porsche 911 and fastest production corvette should be compared to the fastest production 430 not the slowest

    how do they get away with this?????

    i know ferrari doesnt advertise in r+t but

    my grandmother could figure out this is apples and oranges and she doesnt even drive

    iam buying a bird just so i can use road and track for the bottom of the cage

    They test them within the rules of the applicable series..

    So, the corvette had restrictors, and the f430 GT has steel brakes...

    The race cars were tested "as is", not prepped/modifyed for the shootout!!

    I thought it was a very interesting issue with lots of information. I especially enjoyed the comparisons between the street and race versions.
