    Can the GT3 RSRs beat the F430's this weekend?

    Anyone heard any inside scoop?

    Not sure- Do you have any lap times from the Florida race? Maybe the Ferrari has too much of a handling advantage with the mid-engine? I do know there's going to be a nice Acura/Porsche battle in P2.

    What lost the race in St Pete for the fastest RSR was a refueling problem that set them back 3 laps. I was at St Pete and Sebring and the fastest RSR actually lead the race early on in St Pete. Both the fastest 430 and the fastest RSR are about as equal as you can get. This is what GT2 needs, great close racing just like P2. The rules have leveled the playing field in GT2, the RSR are running smaller engines than the F430 or the Panoz. I'm a big Porsche fan but want to see races like we saw at Sebring and St Pete continue. Maybe Porsche will win the next race, I certainly hope so, but now the F430, Panoz and in P2 the Acura have an equal chance.

    I agree. This kind of competition is what generates all the interest, at least for me. Who wants to watch a cake walk? Not me.

    GT2 used to be like watching a Porsche Cup race, it wasn't if the Porsche RSR would win it was which one. Now they have some serious challengers. Besides so what if the rules are adjusted to allow the competetion an advantage to "equalize" the field, we all know which is the best sports car :>)
