I've autocrossed before at SCCA and BMW CCA events. Never went to a major track before, though.Originally Posted by AirPhilippines

Check out this comparison, this is a Centennial edition Z06, same motor thats in the regular Z06. Z06 pulls out over a second on this GT-R on the track but the GT-R has faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile times thanks to the all wheel drive and launch control. Vette wins also in the slalom and skid pad numbers. Great read for the ignorant "American cars can only go fast in a straight line" people.

Comparing a car on street tires to a car on R-compounds is ridiculous. Running any high performance summer tire (Hankook RS3, Dunlop Direzza Star Spec, Nitto NT05) and comparing it to an R-Comp (Toyo R888, Toyo RA1, Nitto NT01, Michelin MPSC) can net you a gain of a minimum of 3 seconds faster on SOW where this test was done.
Real talk, everyone in every car thread talks about how their favorite car handles on the track but how many of you have actually been to a track to even drive a car?
