Quote - “Yes, they look good, and are quick in a straight line. But with a solid axle rear suspension, they are laughable in the corners.”
Might I point you toward the posted lap times?
Laguna Seca lap times:
BMW M3 1:42.96
Audi R8 1:40.75
BOSS 302 1:40.21
Even the GT can keep up with the M3.
What a professional driver can do with a car with lots of power and a sketchy suspension vs. what joe average can do is a very large difference. Though I would be curious to see more different track times. That one may well favor straight line performance (don’t know myself).
