Autobild made pretty strange comparison between 997 GT2 and Honda CBR 1000 RR on the Nordschleife. They measured track times for both... Drivers are 997 GT2-W.Rohrl, CBR 1000 RR-Helmut Daehne...
And NOW Nordschleife track times:
997 GT2 7.32,18min(Doettinger Hoehe top speed 302.1km/h!!!)
CBR 1000 RR 8.12,62min
Rohrl did not brake his previous 7.31min time with 997 GT2.
Just as comparison times by Horst von Saurma from Sport Auto...
Gallardo SL 7.46min(Doettinger Hoehe 279km/h)
599 GTB 7.47min(Doettinnger Hoehe 293km/h)
997 Turbo 7.54min(Doettinger Hoehe 282km/h)
Also 997 GT2 were faster in all curves then any other sportscar on the Nordschleife(in the same class-997 GT3 etc.).
Last thing-997 GT2 is faster in 0-300km/h then 599 GTB...
The key question is: How should it be possible that the GT2 is 20kph faster on Doettinger Hoehe than the 997TT? I don't believe that this is possible. Also, don't forget that LP640 (640hp), 599GTB (620hp) and even the Techart GTStreet (630hp) just did around 294kph on Doettinger Hoehe.
The answer to the above question is: the GT2 is not 20kph quicker on Doettinger Hoehe than 997TT. We are simply comparing wrong numbers:
The only explanation can be that WR enters the Doettinger Hoehe at a significantly higher speed than HvS which (of course) would result in a high top-speed at the end of Doettinger Hoehe. Thus, in the Supertest the GT2 will be likely much slower than 302kph on Doettinger Hoehe.
P.S.: Kreso, better not believe that the GT2 will be as quick as 599GTB or LP640 up to 300kph
I am sure that this is not the case
