those cars look fantastic. how does the 997 compare to the stradales.
As you would expect, due to its weight distribution, the 997 is more communicative about its handling, it's an amazing feeling to feel the car slide progressivily.
The handling of the Stradale is more edgy, more difficult to drive at the limit.
You can't compare them in looks or sounds, that's subjective, although to be honest, the 997 is almost invisble next to the Ferrari. The black one with dark grey rims and the middle stripe is amazing!
And that noise actually covers all the other cars' noises too, except the GT3 Cup which is not road legal.
Performance wise, the 911 has better traction of the start, but in the high revs, the Stradale is faster, no question.
Brakes are both Carbon Ceramis and are amazing.
The Ferrari is a much more focused car and not as versatile.
On the way back, I was in normal mode, enjoying a fine discussion with my mate with the Bose sound stroking our ears. The others were suffering from a slow death inflicted by the noise, the jerky transmission and the radio they couldn't listen to anyway.
The F1 transmission at low speed is not conformtable, on the track, it shines.
