heyyy, how about a dog-fight, shootout? Well u know what i mean, im disappointed:(
25seconds diference between lap times,not by much,what is this guy, insane.You cant compare these two cars because there are only the same shape and that is it,everything else is different
why wouldn’t u race them stupid. Dislike. This is another reason why I unsubscribed.
80 likes and 8 dislikes lol x10 more people like ferrari than Lamborghini
i licke red who agrees
Ferrari floundered until they hired Ross Brawn to engineer their cars.
Ferrari 458
Wow look at the toe angle on the GTC!
Black Should Be The Color
comic in the back, bring back the random pics. R&T went from being the BEST auto mag to what seems like an afterthought. Very, very sad.
What happened to Road&Track?
I subscribed in 1995 when I was in 6th grade, after buying the Ford GT90 cover issue. Single mom, no dad in the picture, but I loved cars. I even had the old Panasonic 3DO with Road&Track presents The Need for Speed.
I loved the older WIDE issues from around 2003 with their amazing picture spreads and plenty of road tests. Then they went back to normal width…and now R&T is tiny with lame covers and like one road test per issue. And I hate the comic in the back
“Which do you like more?” That’s a pretty weird question… do I prefer a race car or a road car?… it’s like comparing apples and oranges…
The rear of the road car was modded to be like the Scud.
I like the 458 more
Check out the link to the full comparison test in the video description.
I like the Track car, I have attended the Cavallino Classic every year since 2002…
The F430 is an amazing cars, one of the best ever made. It is likely to be the last Ferrari with a manual transmission so im saving up to buy one within the next few years!
That was a awesome video but I want to see like a quick snap shot of the track map and how the cars compare in acceleration and braking. To see where cars may do better on certain parts of coarse compared to it’s counter part.
I’m pretty sure GT3 regulation was inforced by using kg/hp instead of displacement. GT3 regulations stated that the car must have around 2.6kg/hp. This 4.0L F430 competed in the GT2 class which stated cars must have a 3.8L-4.0L engine to run in the class during that particular year.
of course a guy wearing a ferari shirt is gonna like both cars
Why is Car and Driver airing year old Road and Track videos?!
I would take the GTC
Does the GT race series have a cap on displacement?
Ferrari is the way to go.
A comparison of lap times between all the street/race twins of this series is highly anticipated.
