C&D test - CGT got whipped by 9 sec. on track

April '06 of C&D tested the CGT against another car on a 1.5 track and found the CGT to be 9 seconds slower. Good thing the other car was a 911 GT3 RSR race car. Got you CGT owners' attention. Didn't I?

Didn't they also say that if the CGT had been on racing rubber (like the GT3) with a track tuned (instead of street tuned) suspension the results would have been different?

They should've thrown on the 18's with slicks that Donahue and Leno used at Talladega. I'd bet just that with stock suspension would've made a major difference, maybe evened things up. Adding racing dampers and a custom-picked spring setup for the particular course...then it'd get interesting.

Guys............ This is an apples to oranges comparison.......

Ok so we now all know that a race car is faster than a street car on street rubber...
