So the F12, the FASTEST Ferrari on sale beats the Stingray around Laguna Seca by less than 1/4 of a second, while having an almost 300hp advantage???? I feel sorry for the upcoming Z07's competitors...

I'll have to watch lap videos to see why. I'm suspecting that F12 really is a handful and difficult to drive.

I think part of the problem is that the HP race is hitting a terminal point for current traction materials and technology. Cars are getting close to the maximum usable power for some of these tracks and now it's going to turn to a game of weight loss. Sure, you can pick some top speed up on tracks with long straights, but you can only go as fast as you can brake for at the end... and you can't gain too much acceleration when you are already breaking the tires loose.

With all due respect to the C7, comparing it to the F12 is unfair. The F12 is in a class apart in many levels.

Pretty much. They are evenly matched on a tight track, 1/4 second is neglegible, I just means they are excellent cars handling-wise. I'm sure if you take them out on a track with some longer straights, a track where the HP advantage is more usuable, the Ferrari will put down a faster time.

I think it has to do with the tires.

The F12, Bentley, M6, GranTurismo, 991 Turbo, etc. are GT cars, made for fast luxury and comfort. Not really the spartan nature of the C7, GT3, etc.

Yeah, that's a shit price/performance ratio there...when when wasn't it? I suspect only a small fraction of F12s will get to spend their lives racing on tracks, as opposed to parked outside of night clubs or inside private owners museums.

Precisely, but not only. Also, I wouldn't consider the 991TT as a pure GT car, although it has become more and more of a GT ever since the 993.

Eh.
I have nothing but respect for the 991. It's not GT like the M6, it still has the insane power to back itself up, and is undoubtedly very great on track.
It's just that most people looking for a track car would go for the GT3 unless they live in the snow (which I do), or they're a 60-year old doctor.
