basically, i saw the words "porsche" in red, and "bmw" in green at the bottom, and asumed it was a gt3 vs. a csl based on st-anger saying Quote:

What I meant nthfinity, was that it doesn’t look like a GT3 RS and I don’t think that the lightweight panels Ruf uses aren’t carbon fiber but are aluminum. It also has a widened body whereas the RS has the regular 996 narrow body. But you are right it is the closest thing available that I have seen also. I just wished that Porsche would import the genuine article to their most important and lucrative market :roll: .
On the chart of Oschersleben I also came to the same conclusion but since st-anger said GT3 and not GT3 RS and the fact that the Porsche was slower than the CSL I came to the conclusion that the comparison was between a regular and non RS GT3 and a CSL. I could be wrong and maybe I just misunderstood what you were saying in your post. I thought that you were surprised that the GT3 RS was slower than the CSL and I was just pointing out that I thought that the lap times were not for the GT3 RS. |
thankyou lakatu for clearing that up :) that cirtainly does make a lot more sence to the lap times posted, and cornering speeds

Thanks a lot st-anger for all the time spend for those articles. I really appreciate, as everyone, and i'm looking forward to have access to the download section... (i hope)

I believe I have seen this before and was just looking for it this past weekend but couldn't....so this is perfect timing :D
Thanks alot st-anger :D EDIT: It was the one I've seen before, its kind of scary that a couple of days ago I thought about this exact vid and here it is :shock: BTW, its a great vid....lots of awesome driving, especially by the Carlsson car :D |
vid from 05032005: :arrow: link
AM Vanquish MV test http://www.is-mad.com/upload/userfil...r/original.jpg ...another Motorvision test, this time driver´s Mattias Lauda, 23 years old F3000 racer and son of famous Austrian F1 driver Niki Lauda... in short here´s what Lauda jun. said about the Vanquish: ...even on the first few meters one has to realize that it´s quite a heavy car but nevertheless it´s still fun to drive with a good design, very wide, that´s what he likes best. the cockpit is quite ok, steering wheel´s a bit too thick, switching into reverse gear´s quite annoying because of the buttons on the dashboard. the leather working up is not that good, especially the seats, some buttons are from Ford, so not that good for the overall quality impression... on the track the engine has too less torque at low rpms, gearbox is quite good with added double-clutch when downshifting, so very smooth, upshifting could be better, but well, it´s no pure sports car so it´s ok... nevertheless the gearing is too long for the track. the steering is too soft with too less feedback when cornering so again not very sports car like, resulting in a sluggish and soft handling behaviour. under wet conditions the weight is even more a problem, the car feels heavy especially when breaking... but all in all he really liked the car but it´s definitely not the very best choice for the track... |

Thanks mate.....what a nice sound the Vanquish makes, so brutal. :D I would still take a DB9 over it due to the better looks :wink:

Sweet vid - and great idea putting all of the PC vids in one section, and then having discussions. Look forward to seeing the rest.

As to the Vanquish vs. DB9 comparison you have to take into consideration that the DB9 is a few years younger which makes a huge difference nowadays as both design and performance evolve incredibly quickly. As a result even some of two-years old cars can be found quite out-of-date. |
Oh, I finally watched the Vanquish review by Lauda junior, and it was again a nice one! Plenty of V12 music and never covered by useless music :D
The review is a very good one, sadly I can't really understand everything, but enough to say it is a good and indepth impression he gives to us. Always nice to see a superb car in action on track, this vid is a must, thanks st-anger!! |
