He loves the Shelby and the Carrera S...Seems like he got the most enjoyment out of these two cars.

Man I love the GT-R but it's time for a major redesign.

I prefer the older design to be honest.

 

[kaz109]

I do wonder why thy did not include the Vette Grand sport in this. From everything I have read it is everything the Z06 should have been

Yup still a big bland boring design. Now for a $100k+ price tag. :nonono:

 

[kaz109]

Also it should be noted that only 3 cars were full on track dedicated cars in this competition (ACR,GT350r,M4 GTS) and it did flawlessly on track AND on the street. Ford knocked it out of the park and the Camaro SS 1LE is without a doubt the best bang for your buck car out of this group or possibly for 45k and under

Not to mention it is slower! They tried to make the GR-R something it was never meant to be. They made the ride softer and tried to give it a more luxurious interior. Big mistake IMO

 

[Sonic605hp]

I'm with you and judging by the info leaked so far so is Nissan...supposedly going to be a ****ing rapist (in the positive sense )

Man I love the GT-R but it's time for a major redesign.

 

[DHG1078]

Isn't the redesign not scheduled until 2020-2022 or something like that?

 

[Sonic605hp]

Some say '18 some say delayed until '20...:smmon:

Mr O said the new 1le was two seconds slower than the old z28 on a 2 minute track. What's interesting is that Randy just drove it to the same time actually a few hundreds faster...

 

[Serpent]

GT350R got 2nd place. Not sure why, it only has a top speed of 170.
Even the New Camaro SS has a higher top speed.

1st place was the Mclaren. Rightfully so, because you know it has a top speed of 204

 

[csvt98]

I figured the McLaren would take it, I would personally take the ACR. No matter the street manners, I am used to driving cars that are stiff.

 

[ZYBORG]

So... I'd be a pretty safe bet, that the new 1LE is faster than the non R 350s. That is killer. What an incredible value and hopefully without the mark up bullshit.

Like I said before even al o said they were the same on course, approximately 2 seconds behind on a 2 min course. Saying that I would love to see that battle on the same rubber with randy at the wheel.

 

[GotHemi?]

Im thinking with identical rubber the 1LE would be just as quick as the R. And if its as quick as the non R from the factory that is insane. If they do another Z28 it should murder the R.

I enjoyed this a lot and am very impressed by the 570S. Kinda glad the "slow" cars are getting their own separate test this time around.

 

[speeddemon2000]

Here are all the times:

Nissan GT-R - 1:37.08
Porsche 911 Carrera S - 1:36.44
Jaguar F-Type SVR 1:38.75
Acura NSX - 1:36.36
Audi R8 V10 - 1:34.23
Mercedes AMG GT S - 1:35.30
BMW M4 GTS - 1:37.66
McLaren 570S - 1:34.58
Aston Martin V12 - 1:41.77
GT350R - 1:36.11
Camaro SS 1LE - 137.78
Viper ACR - 1:31.58

The SS is definitely the bang for the buck.
