For me, the Supertest gets more and more important as you can really feel the lap time differences on public roads as well. Capable/Incapable chassis simply reveal their qualities on the track as well as on public roads. That's why - for me - comparing lap times is most relevant.


You certainly have a point but one can adjust [read: manipulate] the laptimes by adapting the car to its purpose. Performance and handling will be impressive but any customer would experience a significant tradeoff in other relevant aspects. I agree though that a bad laptime will probably indicate a mediocre handling car...

It is somewhat surprising that the 997.2 Turbo models are not significantly faster than their predecessor, despite performance-enhancing torque steering and adaptive engine mounts. According to SA, the car has become more stable around the vertical axis so there certainly is an improvement.
