Default Road & Track: ACR vs. GT2 vs. GTR vs. Z06 vs. LP...

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6939

Some of the results were a little surprising. The Z06 could have used better tires and the I was expecting the Viper to dominate. I was surprised the GT2 didn't do better, and really surprised by how fast the LP560 considering it's not stripped down like the GT2 or ACR.

so why did they have a mechanic for the ACR even though they wanted to see how the cars performed in stock form? ... at least that one part was just bogus...

interesting comparison though. seems to be pretty straight and honest

No wonder, the LP560 is also runing on cheater tires (PZero Corsa)...

Again with the poor choice in drivers.. in this article Millen admits to drifting the z06 around corners.. come on now. I mean the tires should put the z06 at a disadvantage (not that anyone tracks anything with stock tires so its moot till the tires are equalized) but come on now. at least drive aroudn the track the correct way!
