If you watch the videos it would seem they were all run the same day. That day very well could have been 3 months ago...

Won't happen, go will never admit anything nor accept someone else being right, I tried for pages in numerous threads lol

The results look familiar?

It would have been nice to see the consistency or lack there of. Also how fair is it to compare with other cars on a different day?

Another point; Randy has raced Porsches for years. It probably felt very comfortable and familiar yet also better than previous generations of 911's.

This whole article/testing was done months ago. The test were on the same day as the rest, they just made a story comparing the the gt500 and ZL1.

The GT500 is a faster car, get over it.

BoostedX2 · 08-23-2012, 09:31 AM

ZL1 6th, GT500 7th

Just the line up I predicted. I knew ZL1 was going to be over the GT500 while both still being low on the list with the 911 in 1st. Not surprised that the BRZ came in 3rd either, it may handle good but it's just not an exciting car.

I pretty much called it based on Randy's comments and facial expressions. The BRZ came in 4th, not 3rd but did place ahead of the ZL1 and GT500 as I predicted.

The results:

shaffe · 08-23-2012, 11:15 AM

pretty much as I expected. Z coming ahead of the GT no surprise there.

C5RocksC5 · 08-23-2012, 12:00 PM

I am surprised the GT500 wasnt graded last. It will continue to get beat up for its SRA set up.

WOW, I never thought I would see the day that an lp700 was behind a mustang, a camaro, and a $24,000 subaru miata LOL
