It's not all about the 1LE - interesting new Head2Head

[carguy]

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words...

The latest from Motortrend, the Lexus RCF vs M4 with DCT and carbon ceramic brakes. Notice both are slower than the 1LE and VERY close in time to the GT PP.

Shows how good the half price GT PP really is, and how much of a full on race car with a plate the 1LE is. :clap2:

And the one we have seen so many times...

Wow, good to know, I was expecting both those cars to have quicker lap times, but the margin is so small.

 

[Todd15Fastback]

Good stuff!!

 

[carguy]

Yeah it was pretty refreshing to see. Also nice to note that both the RCF and M4 are running much better Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Looking very promising for the GT PP.

I m confident that with better tires we would be below 1:24 mark. Isn't the lexus even heavier than the gt pp?

Correct. It weighed in at 4000 lbs.

So the last time a GT ran against the M3 it was within a tenth, and now it is 6 tenths off. Yeah I know, but the bimmer cost so much more.

Still not impressed with the new platform.

LOL :frusty:

Let's be really foolish and hope that if MotorTrend does a H2H between the Mustang and these cars they will not use a fully loaded premium model like that in the 1LE comparo.

Yeah, I know. How foolish of me.

But this new platform will likely equal or out run a Boss on tracks....

Exactly! I'm not sure my sarcasm came across right. I was banging my head over his ridiculous comment. The M4 with a friggin DCT tranny and carbon brakes and Super Sport tires only bested a fully loaded GT PP by half a second for crying it loud. And no I don't even care about the price argument.

This is a massive win for the new platform and a lot to be impressed with. Far superior to the S197 Boss platform.
