Track "Focused cars" make the best drag racers

I'm surprised no Miata in the race

CarWow seeks engagement and it looks like this is successful on that front.

i turned this on and then put my phone in my pocket. Just hearing all those P cars go through the rev range was the highlight.

I was surprised that 3RS is so much faster. I thought the added aero would hurt it. They definitely put some extra sauce in that engine over a standard GT3.

ok, but would have been much better to test and compare what they are built for

Handling

would it kill them to set up some cones and at least do a a slalom test?


the wieght to HP ratio on those cars could tell you who is faster in a straight line and sure enough it went exactly how you would predict it to go based on that.


Seemed more like a video for that guy to brag about his GT3 RS he has on order

You must have never seen any Carwow videos lol

All they do is acceleration and braking.

It’s much harder to do handling as you need room for slalom test and someone that know how to drive well plus those videos will not get close to same views. Its all about the numbers on Youtube.

I wish we still had the great hot lap vids that Motortrend used to do with Randy Pobst.

Handling wise - the GT3RS will destroy the rest of the cars even more than it did on acceleration.
