Radical SR3 Turbo, driven by Phil Bennett 7:19.
This is a fully road legal vehicle in uk, not sure about Germany. Maybe thats why they're claiming the record for the porsche? If so, then the headline should really be:
"Carrera gt fastest german car on nurburgring.. but not actually as quick as something costing a fraction of the price with only a 1500 cc engine made in the uk"
Makes very little sense to me. If you want to go fast 'round a TRACK buy a track car (radical, westfield, caterham etc) or even better, but a second hand race car and trailer it there and back. Real race cars are nasty things to drive on the street. For some reason magazines are obsessed with driving ROAD cars on tracks. If you set the car up to do well on a track it will generally be crap on the road.
The CGT is no-doubt a great car, but for fast trips around the 'ring people should look elsewhere IMO. |
hehe so your saying u wouldnt buy a cgt if you had the money?
Granted for the price it doesent seem worth it when you cold buy a radical for track and something smaller and more road biased for the road, but the CGT is a pretty good comprimise between the two if the price is factored out, probably more so than the enzo because it's not as big.
