Why hasn't your car been taking part of this intense action? Your car looks to be a very worthy competitor.I agree, it isn't fair that the PDK S is stock, it would be nice to see a bolt on PDK S against that GTR and the others.
The Z06 is just the bargain of the century. For 40K, you can roll in style and run with modern technology all while having $700 worth of mods. It's exceptional, IMO.
Agreed and well said about the Z06.

But in rolling start runs this advantage is killed, they only benefit their fast shifting and non-cutting throttle load, but there really power speaks louder!

Not sure if you guys have seen this, but pretty impressive run here by a 458 at the strip-

Not really... Don't know why but I just did the GIAC Flash and gained about 36 WHP (I posted this in this forum 2 weeks ago) and did a new run against my own 458 Italia and surprisingly the 458 was still faster than the flashed Turbo S.
Don't know why this happened, though, so will have GIAC retune (This time a custom Tune) my Turbo S.
Will see...

The dual clutch cars produce impressive times especially when starting from 0, cause of their easier and efficient launch; they save at least 1' from 0 to 100 in comparison with the same car with manual tranny.
