the GT2 race was AMAZING. pretty much everyone knew that Peugeot was gonna take this one though. their cars were lapping 1/2 a second faster per lap than the R15's

If you don't just love the roar of that motor, you have to be dead or gay.

Mostly gay. I'd think that motor is loud enough to wake up the dead.

actually they're not that loud. the F430's are the loudest at 112db (the regulated limit)

The F430 GT2 cars are louder IMO. Its a shame they are restricted so much. That vette really isn't making much power (compared to what it could). Upper 400s rwhp or so.

There's a really cool Road & Track magazine out right now, compares the GT2 front runners to their production car, and to each other, one of the better magazines they have put out IMO..

C6.R was 470 rwhp, 535 rwtq.
