About to be HAMMERED

I was on my way home from Crystal Cove this morning. A GT2 was behind me at the stoplight, and quickly passed me going uphill on Newport Coast after the light turned green. I floored it and he could not pull away. I didn't gain ground, but I was surprised he didn't pull away hard with so much more torque. When he passed me, he was going about 20 mph. When we let off, we were triple digit.

We toyed around a little more, but he mis-shifted; then a car ahead entered my lane, so we shut down rather soon. We never really went at it again hard, but I think he was REALLY surprised. He wouldn't look at me at the red lights. Also, with him in my lane in front, he didn't try to pull away again...

COME ON GT2 guys, let me have it...

Love the club coupe. With that out of the way, the GT2 driver was either not trying or did not know how to drive his car.

He was trying because we got to triple digit quick. His mis-shift says a lot about his driving skills (it was really bad...).

I would love to get some friends with a TT, TT-S, GT3 and GT2 to test them all at an appropriate location.

Yep. No way a properly driven GT2 wouldn't pull hard on the Club.

How do you know? Saying it doesn't make it so. I can tell you that Matt N. said my Club Coupe keeps up with his CGT a lot better than the turbos (not GT2). I am willing to do a test with volunteers. Talk is cheap...

Tell us about your TT.

I agree that we need a "safe" place. Street racing is jail time here in CA.
I'd like to do a roll start and a still start.

Understanding horsepower, torque, weight, gearing, and power curves.

Do you think you car is faster than a GT2?
