What they really need to do is drive like three laps in each car and compare.

Half a second ... the dual clutch v. 6-speed is worth more than that. I have a 6-spd and prefer them, but I don't think there is any real question that a RS with a PDK would be more than .5 second faster than a manual on a track, even for a skilled driver.

It is not plausible each car was only run one solitary lap, and based the time off that. The driver said the GT2RS was the only one that held up lap after lap so that means they were all given a fair enough chance at producing a decent time.

PS. Nice find OP. it was interesting there was very little between the 458 and the GT2 but at the end of the day the 458 came first even if it did have the clutchless box. If GT2 had the same box maybe the outcome would have been different but each car is what it is.

Still love the GT2 RS (or the 458), but push come to shove, the GT2 RS takes it for me.

With margins that small the outcome could be different with the slightest change of input...sun in your eyes, sneezing, hell blink once in the F. and the P. is the winner

All beautiful machines though!

Again thanks for posting.
