If you look just below boss's time you will also find the 06 GT3's time also. The 12' carrera s just barely pulls a faster time than the boss.

There is a big difference in the GT3's of 2006 and the latest edition. Whole platform changes for that car, but the GTR is essentially just been retuned and reworked since 2008. Plus, a 911 Carrera S is not GT3, totally different cars on the track. (Not trying to sound like a dick, promise)

What most people need to get over is realizing that this $75K American track car is outrunning Japanese (costing excess of $115K) and European Exotics (costing excess of $125K) that were designed to be track monsters. There are flaws with the Z/28's design in some areas, but this will be the cheapest turn-key racecar/street car that can be beat up on, broken, and fixed. Virtually, a well off middle class American can now compete with rich owning exotics. I just hope Ford responds by trying to hit a home run.

Truth, such a large issue. Not like those simple things that break on Mustangs...like my blown piston lol.

I am new-ish to domestic car forums (my mustang was my first American car) & they are horrible usually about fanboys. This has been the first one that in have found that has people who appreciate speed/fast cars no matter the brand. I just hope this thread doesn't grt deleted like the Z06 thread because fanboys can't get over their preferences.

Right oh and cheap Chinese transmissions. I wonder what's more important to a performance car, a heater core or a transmission lol? Hmmmm.
