...unfortunately it (again) really seems to be that we canīt count in the NS for comparison - the playground are again just such unbelievable boring tracks like Fiorano, HHR, Monza,.....whatever - we had that discussion endless times before, but let me correct the one or other thing here
360: 1:15,1
TT: 1:14,6
and i wonīt add here that the TT was 13sec faster............
the other thing that keeps me wondering is why ppl still compare GT3 and CS
imho: GT3 vs 360 and GT3-RS vs 360 CS
but iīm definitely with u Alex, although the NS time should have been better we canīt say the 430 is crap...
itīs just like that - i have quite some insight into industry pool session and therefore i know that Ferrari is more and more at the ring and i also know that they frequently rent workshops as they wonīt show up in Meuspath where all the NS testing equipment and know-how is located, for "i donīt know" reasons which is a bit arrogant imo, so everyone expected a "real good" lap time due to the more testing/experience but well...........

Hah - what a dissapointment. The acceleration was there but it cant even beat a Gallardo at Hockenheim with corsa tyres - that is nothing but horrible. Imagine what the Gallardo SE with corsa tyres and its shorter gear ratios will do to this thing, without even mentioning the 997 Turbo :roll: . Sorry, but the F430 got Gallardowned

If you think Best Motoring has anything to do with objective testing you have little clue. It's entertaining, but those laps have as much reference value as the Top Gear laptimes. Little to none.

Best Motoring is VERY objective when testing NON Japanese cars .
And I do have a lot of clues , I reccomend the 2000 edition , Battle In Suzuka , and after you watch it , will talk.
Ooooo , actually it won`t be anything to talk about.

golfiste what do you think your contribution to this discussion is? looks to me like ur asking for instaban...read the rules no personal attacks, and especially not when there isn't even a reason to be even the slightest bit upset...
as for the time, i too expected ferrari to be faster, and i too cant wait for hte 997TT's time on the 'Ring

ow k i must have a bad sense of humour...
its just in the past we've been having some trouble here at JW with normal discussions turning into flame wars for nothing, so the no personal attack-rule was imposed...
but well lets get back on-topic i dont know that much about best motoring, its bin a couple of years since i last saw anything by them cos the japanes annoys me, but i dont think you can get more objective than SA...1 driver who knows the track absolutely by heart...im assuming he goes flat-out in every car, so then its as comparable as you can reasonably expect a test to be

Well knowing how the 360 behaves at high speeds I'm not surprised at all that the TT was faster. Talking with some 360 Challenge drives its a sensitive bitch on the limit, it's fast but it takes a lot of fine skill to keep it from snapping on you.
