![]() Also they've included the GT-R in the past 3 years even though they didn't have a long term car all those years. |

Yeah they had mentioned that it won 2nd place in the past 2 years before this one. They also said that GT-R handled better last year and that there was more mid corner understeer this year.

The Aventador sucks, that is why.
Unless I have one in my garage, then it is cool. ![]()

as close as the competition is, it wouldn't surprise me if the difference was a suspension alignment difference (which can make a big difference). the tires are the same specs and the car still weighs the same. its not like 15 more hp is going to suddenly change the dynamic characteristics. from what i've heard, the VR was heavily revised though, i think it got new heads, cams, exhaust manifolds, etc. i think it retained the already larger turbo piping and intercoolers from the '12. think the exhaust was also a hair larger stock now too. they "revised" the suspension again but i think that was only for foreign market where they have the asymmetrical setup for RHD cars to help balance them out side to side

I'd like to see their list for cars, with 4-5K in mods
![]() The Z would be pushing the Porsche on that list...

Ummmm I doubt that. In a straight line race, it MIGHT be close with an amazing driver. Other than that it's not happening. This is the 911, not even the Cayman. If the Z gets $5k in mods then the Porsche will too. I'm sure the biggest overall performance improvement mod you could do with that budget would be a set of super sticky tires. Turning up the boost on the turbo cars would also help a lot.
