Switzer 997 GT2 vs Ferrari 599GTB

I had my friend drive my Switzer 997 GT2 up the the Cleveland Cars and Coffee and i drove my 599GTB. After the meet, we decided to do a few highway rolls. We started from a 50 mph roll up to 160 mph. i was driving the 599GTB and my friend was driving the GT2 (first time my friend drove the GT2). I started in 2nd gear and he started in 3rd gear. We left on three honks. I initially jumped about half a car, then the next thing i know, the GT2 flew by me so fast i thought he had sucked the paint off my doors! Both cars were running on 93 octane pump gas. As i shifted into 3rd, 4th, and finally 5th gear, he had a good 8 to 10 cars on me and just continued to pull me. i just shut it down at 160 mph. That was only bad experience i had thus far while in my 599GTB. But i still got all the looks as we cruised around town, so all in all, it was still a good day. i will try to get it on video next time.

M5board posted a video of an lightly modded Dahlback racing GT2 with sequential transmission blowing the doors off an LP640 by many many cars.

Dave, have you raced the 599 against the GT2 before the GT2 got modified? Also do you have any pictures of your stable? Especially the GT2?

Very nice.

How does it compare to the Sledgehammer? I'd like to see one of those line up against a TT Gallardo...
