The 2013 GTR was not used for this.

 

[greasy]

Was the Boss Mustang figured to be the better track performer over the GT500? And the same for the ZR1 over the Z06?

Until the new Viper comes out (even though the previous Gen was faster).

They say the Boss is "the quickest mustang we've ever run at VIR." and "forget the gt, this car posted a lap time 1.2 seconds quicker than last year's 550hp gt500".

As for the zr1, no mention of the Z06. "with the michelin pilot sport cup sport cups, which are disguised race rubber, the zr1s best lap was 1.1 seconds quicker than it was on pilot sport ps2s."

Speaking of which, the Mustang whacked multiple BMW's.

 

[Primalzer]

I almost shat a brick when i saw the Panemera that high

I am also very curious of their car selection...would have liked to see some sort of 911 variant, or some other M-Series car instead of the 335is.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Sure it's expensive and all but they're massive cars. I just assumed they handled as well as they looked....seems to be the opposite of that.

Um, you're taking an all out track car against regular BMWs. Congrats.

To that end, I would've like to have seen just the regular boss as well, or maybe just the GT against the Camaro and Challenger. These matchups just leave me scratching my head.
