Default 911 GT3(RS or not) or the Gallardo

This isn't really a opinion thread. Does anyone have any comparisons or data that can be compared between these cars.

I know in the 911 GT3 RS vs Stradale test they claimed both cars would beat the Gallardo. At the same time the Gallardo was quicker on top gear I believe. I don't remember the conditions though.

Any info from anyone, or informed opinions I suppose.

They still didn't test the RS, but this comparison with general data and Nurburgring and Hockenheim tests is perfect

Wow, the Gallardo did really well! It beat the GT3 around the Nordschleife while the Porsche had better circumstances. Also the cornering speeds of the Gallardo are generally higher and the amount of g-force is usually higher or the same as the GT3. On acceleration the Gallardo is also faster and on braking (Porsche is king on that ability) the Gallardo barely falls short. That makes the choice even less hard: Gallardo for me, please!

BTW, thanks for this link TT. It's great!
