Those are valid points but all tracks have the exact same variables. Same with recording 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, or any performance stats. Not to mention if an auto markers plans to brag about their ring time they aren’t going to send their car to the ring without favorable weather conditions.

I disagree. If there is going to be one track to benchmark a cars time there really isn’t a better track. As an avid sim racer who has competed in several N24s the ring favors cars with lower down force. The straights are long enough and with enough straight line speed believe it or not you can overcome all the corners. So with that information you have to take the lap times with a grain of salt. Also the article contradicts itself. He states that the times are irrelevant because of the tires. Well no shit tires make a huge difference. So should we just never record any cars lap times because it would be different the second Michelin releases a better tire? Honestly I’m not convinced a CGT would put down a better lap around the ring than a GT3 on the same tire. I think it would be very close.

This is one of my favorite posts that has ever been on this sub.

Honestly I’m a Lexus fan and I’m shocked how many people have said the LC500 in this thread. To me I think the RC-F having the same engine would be more fun.

Why the 296? It just feels like it should be illegal to have a Ferrari with a TT V6. It kills the car for me. At least the Ford GT sounds alright. On the other hand I’d take a used GTC4 Lusso for similar money. That V12 noise while getting to take 3 of your friends for a ride is so tempting.

Honestly nothing that is realistically obtainable. The GMA T.50 is the only car that has came out recently that I would give my left nut to own but I’ll more than likely never be able to afford one. Right now a Huracan is my current realistic dream car. I think it checks just about every box. Incredible steering, the V10 sound will never get old, it’s just exotic enough to make it special, and they are not too stiff to drive regularly where you aren’t miserable after 20 minutes. Plus for the price of a used Huracan that doesn’t have too many miles there really isn’t anything that provides the same experience for the money. Also worth noting I don’t live in a huge city so I rarely see them. Even at Cars and Coffee only 2-3 will show up.
