The moderate hp and downforce differences alone wouldn't make him THAT much faster IMO. I've been on track and seen some very fast cars that weren't being pushed hard, and they were passed by others very easily, easier than they would've if it were under racing conditions with good drivers at the wheel. Still, this guy is a fast fella. I'd like to see him in traffic with Wolf, Boris, etc...That'd be very entertaining!

WOW. There's no way I can shift that fast with the notchy SSK even with the clutch in sitting at idle.
The standard GT3 shifter I tried is a lot lighter and smoother. That's a possibility.
But this guy's definitely got his heel-n-toe perfected and can fire at will.
