Soon this discussion will be of little relevance, if the GT2 RS laps the NBR below 7.20, as rumoured.

 

Do you regard the GT2 RS as a 458 competitor? I see it as a GTO competitor. Also, let's wait for tests in other tracks by non german and italian magazines.

The GTO costs some 50-60% more than the GT2RS, but I doubt it will drop below 7.20.

UK magazines don't test cars that thoroughly as far as I know. Too much literature and subjective remarks and not that many figures.

IMO the ultimate comparative test is the NBR, because of its length and variety and the fact that most reputable manufacturers use it for development.  There are myriads of "normal" race tracks around and it is easy for each manufacturer to pick and choose the one that suits their car in order to create impressions. To highlight my point, although these are private facilities, I bet no one can beat  Ferrari in Fiorano and equally no one can beat  Porsche at Weissach.
