Ku-maro

I'd love to own a GT3RS because the blend of aesthetics and performance is very appealing......I'd love to own a Z/28 also, because the performance and price is so appealing.

Cliff Harris.......sucks to be him doesn't it!

I'd like to know what tires the GT3 was running considering the Ku-maro had the lap time advantage in those conditions on Trofeos.

Yeah, those two side by side in the garage, opposites, yet cousins. I'd love to have eitherr, however, a Carrera S is on the horizon for me....

The Nurburgring just looks incredibly hard to drive.

p.s. in the Chris smith video did any body see where the Stig was?

Was there a Camaro in that video? I did get passed by a GT3 at Laguna Seca, going through turn 7. It looked like he was using about all of that car's grip, as he did a whole bunch of extra turns to dump the thing into the corkscrew . . . the beotch did however stick.

Awesome video, great driver!
That guy just went up a notch in my books!

Man he was skating all over that track with both cars. What a pleasure to watch him drive them. Wow!

Watching those cars dance in the rain is more than most could ever aspire to do on dry pavement!

Thank you Mark (Stielow) for your engineering input on this platform (as I'm sure most know)

Show me these same two cars on ideal pavement on the 'Ring (please!)

I'm just not sure if I could ever throw / row those gears with my left hand (I'm sure I could get used to it eventually, right!?)

My sincerest "Attaboy's" to Mark Stielow and his team -- and GM for giving them the green light. During us car guys darkest days -- the smog laden / big bumper days of the '80's - I never dreamed we'd ever see the kinds of cars being built today.

Having said that --- after several driving schools - including one that specializes in "drifting and sideways driving" --- Not only would I have spun every turn in those conditions - I'm quite certain I'll NEVER have a set big enough to drive (ANY CAR) the way he does.
