[QUOTE="Big 8, post: 2645913, member: 11224"] Only time will tell? The GT had a 2.4 second advantage over the GT3 at Gingerman. Thats a small tight little course which would strain the brakes and not allow the Ford to employ its larger power curve. The GT3 had the PCCBs. As well as the pilot cup R rubber. It Had two seconds plus on Challenge straddle with R-comp rubber as well, P zero Corsas. If the GT3 can peg a 7:49 at the ring and lose to the FGT on a tight course by more then two seconds? I see no reaason at all that the FGT couldnt run close to a 7:40 :shrug: Besting the GT3 at the ring by 9 seconds. The FGT also bested The F430 with Better brakes and R comp rubber on the Willow Springs course. 1.7 Miles and Bested the Porsche Turbo again equipped with PCCB. Six pots versus Four? Doesnt matter much here. Swept area copound of the pads and contact patch and rubber are far more note worthy then piston count. In straight up braking tests the car is within feet of the CGT, and Enzo. The Ford can out accelerate the Porsche GT3, its up close to 200 HP, it handles better, lower coifficent of drag, superior power band, is easier to drive and it out brakes the car. On a short course of about 1.5 miles its beats the Carrera GT3 by 2.4 seconds! You honestly believe adding some huge long straights over 8 miles at the ring would reduce the FGT's advantages :shrug: No Way! If anything it would give the Ford a greater advantage. The defeat of the Carrera GT3 would be by a greater margin then it were at the short course. [/QUOTE]
