Your RS time to 150mph is very off beam, something very wrong there e.g. 19s, my 991.2 GT3 RS does it in just over 16. Should have had the 991 GT2 RS on as well, 0-150mph in about 12s.

@@B__L If GM chooses to strip all of the daily convenience technology out of the C8 Corvette to lighten the car up by a lot, throw a much bigger wing on the back, with more down force design in the front and on the side, put all the race technology in there, etc. It'd be faster than the gt3rs on the track, no problem. GM wanted to give people a car that they can comfortably daily drive on the street, with convenience, or go cross country and then take it to the track for fun. This is not the same mindset Porsche had for the gt3rs. It's comparing apples to oranges. Don't do that. This is my point.

At that point I can get another badass daily like the ct5 bw, m5 comp, e63s, redeye charger, etc…with a couple grand left over for some minor bolt ons. This isn’t even factoring in markup. I’ve seen the z06 on sale for 250-300 and the rs for 450-600k 😳

[@ronretired]

True price wise but, the C8 ZO6, GT3 RS and Turbo S are in different lanes. We own both the C8 ZO6 and Turbo S and the difference on track is staggering. I'm ok with the difference on track because the Turbo S was purchased to handle daily, and cross-country travels through all types of weather without a hiccup. Our C8 ZO6 and C7 ZO6 handle track and daily street duty with the occasional long-distance travel. I don't own but have driven the GT3 not RS version on track and street. On track the vehicle is outstanding. On the street not so much.

[@Rollincoal311]

Sure money wise it’s a good price point for what you’re getting. But my guess is you’ve never been in one, they ride rough as can be, as they should be in a track spec car. But truthfully I’ll just buy a proper track car for that price and runs laps around it. Cool car but useless at everything. Want a road car? Buy one. Want a track car. Buy one. Crossover into both is a compromise in each area. Daily I’d take a Turbo S. track car for that money a cup car or maybe an open wheel alll will absolutely completely destroy that vette. So potato potato. It’s the things people don’t think about or have actually done. Your response is common. So I know you’ve never been in a real track car or spent much time on an actual race track.

people often compare electric cars vs other electric cars. For now, it should be comparing electric cars to their gas equivalents. "for this much money, what does the EV give and what does the gas do?"

I admit I'm a Mustang fan. Was impressive it kept up and beat many of these way more expensive cars. Back in the day I did get my relatively stock 86 Fox body to about 150. With 9" disks and drums in the back without any ABS stopping took me almost as long as accellerating. I coasted a long time before even considering using my brakes. Gently slowing from 80 to 65 or so...Any of these cars could not only smoke my old 5.0 LX even after I modified with nitrous. But far outbrake and outhandle it...I look forward to getting a newer Mustang GT and just having some fun with it. No more top speed runs for me.

I think that time is a bit optimistic: C&D did an official test at about 14.5 seconds.

I'm surprised that the Elentra smoked the Civic Type R. Also the Dark Horse's performance is very overrated for having 500hp. It barely beat the Supra which only has 382hp.

That's not the real power of the Supra. BMW bases those ratings on worst-case-possible conditions, but the engines will take advantage of whatever it can in the moment. In reality, they make roughly their rated crank number at the wheels.

The mustang was 60k , and weighs 4000lbs. It also beats the 2 seater supra on any road course. Much lower running costs than the supra .

[@memememine1]

The same thing negatively effects both the dark horse and the type r. Both cars really made more for the track use some draggy but down force producing body work. As an example both cars large radiator openings and steep rear wings are simply liabilities in this test. The Elantra ns wing is rather shallow by conparison. And the supra lifts and wanders around past 120mph again showing it's design deficiencies.

I guess it depends on the purpose you have in store for a vehicle. We are lucky to own both. The Turbo S and ZO6 are fast and share daily driving duties. Our Turbo S handles long distance travels unlike our ZO6. For track it is the ZO6 all the way. Don't get me wrong the Turbo can function as a track vehicle however, it is not in the same class as our ZO6. I'm ok with that. The Turbo S was not purchased to be used as a track vehicle. If you plan to track often then a dedicated vehicle or 3 RS will fit the bill. Me personally I like vehicles that serve more than one function.
