Two completely lightweight oriented cars from manufacturers with great race experience!
But, wow, with all respect, I expected the Ferrari would win!

The gt3 rs gets in to the low 7.40 s and yet the 360 cs only gets 4 below 8 minutes wtf their evenly matched on other tracks.

If it was faster then it wouldnt lose in 2 of the 3 tracks by over a second.

Noticeably faster? Not really "noticeably faster" since the above stats were beefed up in the track performance Summary. Truth is, the 360 outruns the 996 in cornering and road handling. Race results show the 360 passes the 996 during the race.
