Battle Of The Heavyweights: Corvette Z06, vs Viper ACR, vs GT3-RS - Which Is the Faster Track Car? The Answer Will Shock You

Jay Lamm, founder and chief perp of the 24 Hours of LeMons, has described racing thusly: “Going around and around in a circle is one of the stupidest things you can do.” With that in mind, we present to you $434,365 worth of dumb.

If you check the notes at the bottom, the TTS ran 2.3 sec slower than the RS, albeit that was on a different day.

And as LexSucks indicates, who are we kidding ourselves... The LF-A is it! And will be it forever... :)

Nissan GTR, Porsche, LFA... would be in my garage. I would make aluminum cans from all others.

The Viper is the fastest around the track by far but it's rolling torture chamber on the road. The Porsche is not as good as the regular GT3. The Corvette sucks around the track but it's still faster than the Porsche and it's the only real daily driver. I'll take the GT3 RS, sell it and buy three Z06s;)
