March 09 issue with "Ford Lives" on the cover.
Anyway, driver gets a GT2 and a GTR and takes them both to the Ring for a test to see what car is faster. He admits he's not as fast as a pro test driver, but is a race car driver.
Porsche: 7min49sec
GTR: 7min56sec
One section on the track the GT2 was pulling 181mph when the GTR can only get 168 while flat on it's face.
On part he writes..."even using this early shift technique heading downhill to Schwedenkreuz (to allow for a few damp patches), the GT2 hits 162mph. The GTR, using every last revolution and with its instant gearshift, manages only 157mph."
He was short shifting the Porsche at some stages due to a wet track. It was damp in some spots. Which is even funnier because anyone that has driven a Porsche, especially a GT2, in the wet that would be HARD to do with Porsche's snap oversteer and such.
