Comments:

Cayman
No turbo lag. Excellent transmission. Needs 40 more hp to improve acceleration, the chassis can take it easily. Perfect brakes. Average steering. Very high grip and stability.

Focus RS
Good engine with nice noise. Average transmission. Brakes with limited endurance. Suspensions too soft, but still very good chassis. A pleasant car.

M2
Seens too heavy and gets taken away by its weight under braking. Rear axle not enough planted to the ground. Too much roll. Very good engine, better than Cayman. Good transmission.

Carrera S
Perfect driving position, very good chassis and steering. Good handling, but gets taken away by its weight (more than the Cayman). ABS too intrusive.

F type SVR
Engine is too big for the chassis. Power desn't go properly to the ground despite the AWD. Brakes good only for one lap. 200kg above optimum weight. Average chassis. A "muscle car".

Camaro
Surprising car. Very large car, average transmission and steering, but great chassis. Very stable rear. A good surprise !

C63S Coupe
Bad brakes (lack of endurance). Good chassis and remarquable steering. Lack of motricity out of curves. Pleasant car with more body movement than the Camaro. Good transmission.

M3 Pack Competition
Better engine, chassis and transmission than Camaro & C63. Very good at curve entry, lack of motricity at exit. Better balance than its competitors. Less heavy than M2 and better damping than C63. Loved it.

CTS-V
Surprising. Expected something difficult to drive due to high power, but very high motricity. But "dumb" transmission. Very good chassis, handicaped by the heavy weight. Good brakes and steering.

Z06
Perfect adaptation of chassis to the power. Good brakes, very good steering. Very stable in fast sections but lazy (more than M3) in slow portions.

675LT
It's on a different level than the Z06. Driving position similar to a race car. Perfect transmission, better than PDK. Exceptionnal brakes. A little unstable at the limit, requires constant corrections. Requires a good driver to take full benefits.

No, source this forum, by myself !

I'm very sorry, as I don't have the permission to view the thread you posted it in, I could not know it comes from you.

It's a bit confusing if there are two threads for the same test, and one is viewable for everyone, and the other one is only viewable for "very active" members.

EDIT: With this post I apparently regained my access to the scans forum

Ah sorry dude, I didn't realise you'd already posted it elsewhere. You receive 2 likes and 10,000 internet points for your ordeal.

I understand... it just that the other forum should have quoted its source, because they did a full copy / paste !
