Can you give me an example for the same performance at half price?
- Aurornis 2y agoCamaro ZL1 is close on performance and nearly half the price. Unfortunately also discontinued. Base C8 Corvette models are surprisingly close at a fraction of the price. The top tier C8 models are even faster.
- rascul 2y agoThe Camaro might also be going away (again) soon.
- Moto7451 2y agoIt's already gone. They stopped making them over a year ago and they seem to be finally off the Chevy website. Local dealers in my area still have some new inventory on the lot.
- ur-whale 2y ago> Camaro ZL1 is close on performance Are those 4wd ?
- smolder 2y agoClose on performance in a straight line isn't really close on performance.
- kart23 2y agoC8 corvette as well

- Aurornis 2y agoLightning Lap is great and I'm glad C&D does it You have to read it with some context in mind, though. The Audi RS3 only scores that high because they had a factory option to ship it with 60 Treadwear track day tires. On the more standard performance tires it dropped to around the ~150 mark on the chart. Fun car, but I wouldn't put it in the same league for track performance. Put those same 60 Treadwear trackday tires on the GT-R, Mustang, or Supra and they'd all jump up the list too.
- jcheng 2y agoThat makes sense, I was surprised to see the RS3 that high on the list.

- rconti 2y agoI'm confused about what this is trying to say. I assume the Mustang is the "muscle car" and the R35 is the "japanese sports coupe" but in many ways the R35 has been the blunt hammer muscle car of its era. They're both fantastic cars on the track from all reports. I'm not sure whether you're denigrating the R35 ("just a sports coupe") or the Mustang ("just a muscle car") in that comment. Also, price and performance benchmarks seem pretty darned important in the worlds these cars play in. We're not talking about minivans or even sport sedans here.
- Aurornis 2y ago> meta: a bit confused about people comparing a muscle car to a japanese sports coupé. Your concept of a muscle car is probably outdated if you don’t think they play in the same space. The American sports cars are very formidable > there's more to a car than price and performance benchmarks. Those of us who actually get on track do care about this stuff. I’d happily drive an ugly tin can from some obscure country if it performed well, was the right price, and was reliable. The whole muscle car versus imports debate is more for the armchair car enthusiast and people who hang out in parking lots with their hoods up.

- reassess_blind 2y agoNot even in the same ballpark
- j45 2y agoNurburing times are impressive - both stock, and eventually reported to be modified GT-Rs for the track. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nords...
