haha Tycoon...So true.

Uhh are there any more track times for the quattroporte? I cant stand it being in front of the M5....frankly its pissing me off
However it doesnt seem like this is the best track for the M5 because the M3 beat it along with the Z4 M-which has a very impressive time by the way.

Im still stunned how many complexed words you can use in one single post

Mr. M

Because cars like the LS460 can have good weight distribution (almost close to that of the QP's) without even needing to modify the gearbox. Heck, even the bread-and-butter 3er has good weight distribution. I see DuoSelect more of a liability than anything else.

Thanks Bruce... I'm still waiting for my subscription to come thru in the Xmas mail. Grrr - I hate waiting and I'm paranoid that my collectors edition of EVO issue 100 has been lost forever.

Back to those times - I'm amazed by a couple of things:
1, the Enzo being fractionally slower than the Macca F1 - astonishing really considering that the Enzo should have the edge in just about every area except outright thrust. It's got carbon-ceramic brakes, F1 paddle-shift transmission and much lower profile tyres and yet... the decade-old McLaren still shows it a trick or two. How good was the McLaren F1? We're only starting to appreciate that now.

2, Litchfield did say that his Type-25 was heavily track-biaised and it shows in this excellent showing at the 'Drome. Sadly, it did poorly at the EVO CotY because it lacked finesse and on-road useability.

3, Carrera GT. A pinnacle point-to-point car that's now the stuff of legend. We all know it's the 'Ring King but the CGT continues to impress on any circuit. It's out of production now, but current owners would be well advised to hang on to what has to be the greatest car in the world in getting from A to B.

4, Can't wait for a 599 GTB laptime...

Bruce

I had heard the McLaren F1 had a number of modifications: stiffer suspension, different tyres and more power.

However, I cannot comfirm this completely. I'll have to wait 25 or so days to see this issue (We get them a month late )

Drat - a little slower than I'd hoped, still not bad for a GT that weighs more than a Murcielago! My subscription is in the mail - I can't wait to check it out.

Shot Bruce. You legend.

Oh yes, Carrera GT killed the Macca and the Enzooooooooooo ....
