Great to see Fiesta ST being one of the cars. Say's a lot about Fiesta to qualify among all these more expensive and powerful cars.

If the Camaro will be quicker than the Turbo S I will eat the whole Internet...

that would be a tragedy... But really, i doubt it, cause camaro is more likely to oversteer, its heavy and doesnt have double clutch... What might not mean much but at the end i believe that does a good difference... Now talking about that nismo gtr... Wait... I gotta clean myself....

The following cars are faster than GT2 RS + LP700 and Turbo S, so anything is possible

It will be a fluke if the Camaro is faster around the track and beats the Porsche!!! I don't wanna see that happen as then the box of tissues will be coming out!!!

 

[JohnnyP1997]

911 turbo is safe!! camaro did in 1:37.82

Yeah, but that won't stop people saying "the Porsche is not worth the extra money".

 

[JohnnyP1997]

Yeah, but that won't stop people saying "the Porsche is not worth the extra money".

thats true tho...

 

[Rolf]

As an alrounder the 911 Turbo is in another league to the Camaro and definitely is worth the extra it is a Porsche after all. If value for money is what you looking for then the 911 GT3 is even better and would have still destroyed the Z28 in all disciplines

That's the reason of my post...

 

[tristatez28lt1]

Porsche 911 Turbo S - 1:35.62
Chevy Camaro Z/28 - 1:37.82
BMW M4 - 1:39.69
Alfa Romeo 4C - 1:43.78
Subaru WRX STI - 1:47.16

918 probably yes; p1... dont know really... but it is capable to

i also wonder why they aren't here, they are some of the best cars they've driven, if not the best cars they've driven this year

The only test of the 918 at Laguna Seca that I know of was by Road and Track. And that (amateur driver) journalist was able to get to 1:38 min. Pretty impressive for a Joe Schmo that has no track experience. Speaks little about the car but I think a sub 1:30 is possible with the right driver.
