No but why would they call cobb when they have all the information and technology they need (being the ones who built the car)...........there was definitely some talk of software changes at the begining....................


i wonder why the real deal is

 

he said only dealers can change hte map

please go re read what i quoted and what he said

 

when manufacturers post times, thats not with traffic is it? i'm sure they get to test on an empty track with enough $$$.

I would hate to have a hot lap, then get stuck behind someone on a long turn, there goes .5 seconds. and on an 8 minute lap, im sure that happens at least 8 times. There goes your 4 seconds

 

you can rent it out

dodge did that for thier viper

and the problem with the ring is it GIAGANTIC

some parts of the track will be raining some are sunny
*when i was following the GTr times i read tehy were not renting it out and were hitting traffic in the early testing

 

i wonder if the huge BMW logos etc on the track are slippery, sometimes they look like paint, but maybe chalk. But thats like losing .01 lol

Like this one looks like paint to me, and a wet yellow line on the street is slippery, so who knows what this can do at 100+



Traffic?

 

im pretty sure its paint and its sure slipery at stop lights haha


OMG its teh fastest cars on the ring!

 

It depends on who is using the track. The manufacturers often have enough finances to rent the track, just like Pagani did when their Zonda F set its record. Not everyone does, though, such as the team that fielded the Loaded M3 CSL. It costs a LOT to rent the 'Ring...


Yup, moisture on the track is a definite factor, one that is not always accounted for/noted when times are posted. Since the track is in a wet climate, and there is so much track (almost 13 miles worth), even a few wet areas can greatly affect one's time.

And yes, I believe the GTR ran both times w/o traffic, but I'm not sure.

 

i don't care, that thing is still the best bang for the buck.

 

If I had the money, I'd probably buy a Porsche GT over the GT-R

 

agreed

 

carrera GT?

uhhh i could buy 5 GTrs and have enough cahnge to make a subaru compete with those two haha

 

agree completely. i dont give a ****, the gtr is rediculously fast. could be faster then the porsches...might not. 80k less then a gt2 or porsche would make me buy a gtr and laugh at u as i put 80k in to it and it screams past u poooing all over ur gt2. i love porsches and i love skylines(all of them) but the bang for the buck is the gtr.

*as for the carrera gt, that **** is in another tier of automobile. up with the enzos, and SLRs and koeniggsegg. anyone or any car enthusiast i would expect to take the carrera gt...most beautiful sounding car ever made IMO

 

I'm guessing you mean the out-of-production Carrera GT? Well, since we're in hypothetical lala land here, why not have the CCX? Or the convertible Veyron? Or the one and only one P4/5?

Afterall, we're dreaming, right?

 

well ill one up you and go get a ferrari F1 car

 

LOL at Porsche. It just kills them doesnt it??

Porsche should stop whining and just stick to charging $1,000 for a clock on their ***-engined poseur-mobiles.
