It's the pads smarts ass. Every mag tested shows that the gt500's brakes give out quick.

I think it would be closer than most people think.
I honestly thought the difference would be greater but after doing some looking the Porsche is about 2 seconds faster pretty consistently on most tracks. Build quality is hands down better. Suspension is better. Carbon brakes are better. Weight distribution is better. But for half the price 2 seconds isn't much of a equalizer.

Just 2 seconds? That's an eternity on a track. If the track is rough that LRA would be a bitch to handle. I absolutely think the 911 would hand the Shelby it's ass.
