Z28 has lapped about 2 sec slower. Driver did say at corner 9 no car has ever had such grip at this point. The braking at the last corner is epic in Z28.
Battle is between the Z28 and Porsche I do agree. He has already made points on NISMO on track last month. Some good and some bad.
He mentions NISMO Dunlops are a let down on track.
Even states it could be faster with a better tire.
Should have those Dunlops on the 911 Turbo S for track work.
I see Porsche used the GT3 tires.
The tire thing is closer then many think. Z28 and 918 tied highest G ever in tightest corner at VIR track. Car and Driver have there yearly test at VIR. The Cup2 tires on 918 are not as aggressive say the new Z06. Corvette Cup2 tires are about half slicked. Just on looks do seem more aggressive then Trofeo R's. Z06 tires are rated at 80 vs 60 tread on R's. The tire debate will have to wait until Z06 does some track work.
