Edit: C & D hated the GT500 around VIR. The only reason it was quicker than the M3s was that it had insane power down the straights - but it was ugly everywhere else on track.

Gotcha, I see it now. I think it would be great to see how the M3 GTS would fair, given GT500 is 662 HP
For example, a C63 with more horsepower than a M3 GTS didn't do that great on the Nordschleife. However, if the GT500 chassis is half competent, it should really destroy the GTS on the Nordschleife.
