All-conquering?

BTW, that GT2 RS time almost certainly came on Cup tires. The tires on the LFA are most certainly not Cup tires. The LFA chief engineer is considering them for the the Nurburgring edition, however.

$245k GT2 RS vs $100k ACR vs $100k ZR1. Porsche is a huge waste of money, no?
Yes all conquering as the Porsche is the most user friendly of the bunch by far considering the steering wheel does not need to be collapsed every time you get in it. Radical doesn't even have a roof.

About the Cup tires, you just dont know and are guessing. Most certainly "not on cup tires":

You weren't there when they did it by any chance, were you? Both of them are mules and both of them are manufacturer times. Porsche clearly quicker and cheaper. GT2 RS wins.

P.S: Inconsequentially to this conversation, the ZR-1 is barely a match for the GT2 in the straights, i wonder what this will do to the equation. I trust you dont even want to bench race the Viper after this
