The GTR should really be outclassed in this field as shown by other results. Nissan did have a ringer just as Porsche said.
BTW, good answer, i totally forgot about the ACR. But in fairness, the ACR is really a street legal race car. Regardless, you are correct.Originally Posted by monaroCountry
Apart from the ZR1........well the Viper ACR is the other Supercar capable of beating the above list. The GTR should really be outclassed in this field as shown by other results. Nissan did have a ringer just as Porsche said.
I'm actually a person. Not a tool.
There was a recent review comparing the ZO6 and the GT2(?). The rear engined Porsche was aparently better at getting the back end planted down during hard take off and better at braking, its engine placement was also far better at communicating the GT2's handling characteristics.
In terms of racing it seems to be that the FR and RR configuration have a batter success rate and are more widely used than MR and especially F-AWD (apart from rally).

It depends on what type of racing you're talking about. IMO, F1 is the #1 racing platform and they're configuration is mid engine. Except for Ferrari and some Lambos, there aren't too many mid engine cars that participate in GT1, GT2, and GT3 class. Again, IMO and many others as well, mid engine configuration is the best in terms weight distribution for any type of racing.Originally Posted by monaroCountry

I could very well be mistaken, but wasn't the EDO 996TT that ran the 'Ring in 7:15 a street legal race car? Or, if not technically, for all practical purposes a street legal race car? Certainly in concept not much different from the ACR?

By the way, wasn't this a GTR VS 997TT thread? why the hell is everyone talking about RR vs FR vs MR now?
Besides, how many of us could actually drive these cars to their fullest potentials anyways? 10% of the members on this forum maybe?
While we're at it, my ***** IS BIGGER THAN YOURS and I can pee further too!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....................................
People just need to accept that this is a PORSCHE forum. Accept that and return to your playstations please

December 13 is my birthday. We'll probably be in town that weekend. You're invited if you're not out town, Michael. DHinkle, MiniD, Tyler, Jenk, and Dez...doesn't sound like the cleanest race in the world.

Is this for real this time? If so, I'm in.

You get stuck on repeat when you run out of wikpedia searches to copy and paste. There is no way to make an F1 car efficienty rear engine. You'd have to raise the engine up a few feet, so it could sit over the rear axle, that would destroy the aero efficiency in which they are almost totally dependant. You also couldnt have a front engine F1 car because it would completely destroy the aero. Originally Posted by jaeS4

Street cars dont have these problems because there is a certain mass that will be there and the car sits high enough to support front, mid and rear engine platforms.
For the simpletons F1 cars center of gravity are too low for rear engine, street cars are not. Open wheel cars are not applicable to what we drive on the street. Your simplistic way of thinking is really not relevant.
