Or really, the “best lap time on this track“ test ... featuring:

Acura NSX, Audi R8 V10 Plus, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, McLaren 720S, Mercedes-AMG GT R, Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2)

(Subtitles are available in English...)

The letdown here is the 720S riding on shittier tires than the rest of the cars. I believe it would’ve done much better had it been on Cup 2s or similar.

Otherwise, I am very pleased with the performance and time set by the Z06:

Lamborghini Huracan Performante: 0.57,5 min.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06: 0.58,1 min

Mercedes-AMG GT R: 0.58,4 min

McLaren 720S: 0.58,6 min

Porsche 911 GT3: 0.59,1 min

Audi R8 V10 Plus: 0.59,8 min

Honda NSX: 1.00,3 min

Warms my icy heart that the NSX came in last, fuck that car. And this is coming from someone who currently owns 4 hondas.

The only way I think Honda can redeem themselves is to make a lightened Type R model. Although, I do wonder what tire the NSX was running in this test.

Perhaps if they make a type r without all the horrible styling. Drove my friend’s, it didn’t suck to drive, but I felt like such a prick due to the way it looks.

...I’m also a RWD prick elitist, so there is that.

Okay so McLaren are definitely sending out the 720s on shit tyres on purpose since there has yet to be a test where they haven’t. The question is why?

Their road cars are meant for the road. I remember watching a video of the main engineer explaining that’s why the P1 had skinnier tires than its rivals. Honestly I like them for that.

Why, it’s a comfortable coupe and that isn’t exactly slow. Like any normal person can tell the difference. I’m not doing timed laps in my car, I only care how I feel driving up the coast.

I don’t care about a few seconds of track time, am I ever going to race it? In the end you just have to sit in a car and see how you feel. I have been in cars I thought I liked and it turned out I didn’t really enjoy spending time in them. Personally I only want a classic for my sports car
