One of the reasons why there is such a discrepancy in trap speeds on back to back runs by the same driver on the same day.

How the RT12 would fare in the turns vs. a Z06 would largely depend on the track or road itself and the suspension setup on the RT12. Some of you seem to forget that the RT12 can be fitted with the double adjustable Ohlins shocks. The technology on the Ohlins with its dual threads is more incredible than most people, myself included, can comprehend. With the right tuning and setup, an RT12 with the proper geometry, alignment, and shock tuning will destroy a stock Z06.
A Ruf R Turbo 550 on a GT2 will walk a Z06 from what I've been told. Oh well, it's all speculative BS anyway.
I know I'd never trade my GT2 for a Z06. Stock or otherwise.

Who buys a Ruf RT12 to run it down the 1/4? Give me a break with all these magazine numbers.... You guys care way too much about the Z06 and are going to hurt Craig's feelings more if you continue talking about it.
