Scud vs rs.2
#21
Doc., Absolutely spot on comparison and well written!! I was very curious as to your opinion and captivated by every word. The truest of sublime enthusiasts could be empassioned by your thirst for only the best of the best. You have done well my friend, very well indeed!! Thank you for the visual dance between these two machines!! All the best, Kenny

Thanks mate, I've not tracked the 16M yet...but there is a track nearby that holds frequent events so I'm looking forward to that soon. The RS would be my first choice to take to the track to be honest...its just set up to drive from home, have a wail at the track, then drive home again
I think you should satisfy your curiosity about the scud...it might end up costing you in the end, but will be well worth it !

The scud is an itch I will have to scratch at some point, just not yet I'm loving the rs too much and can't have both.
Well done, look forward to more reviews!

The difference in purchasing cost between the two cars is negligible today. What may set them apart is track reliability And general hardiness.

I'm not sure that is realistic. Firstly I don't think the car has been round the top gear track. Secondly it is faster in dry tracks Than the scud yet slower in the wet. This is obviously down to the fact the Porsche runs on cups. Lastly there is the wear and tear and sustainability factor. The scud is supposed to go through brakes on track at a very alarming rate, both disks and pads. The guys That regularly track them change the disks to steel apparently. Also heard to keep up with well driven gt3s they need a gt3 aero kit, although may have misinterpreted that.

This months (Sep) Top Gear Magazine has the GT3RS at 1:21.
The Lambo S/L at 1:20.8.
The 458 at 1:19.1
The LFA at 1:22.6
The SLS at 1:21.6
All Driven by the Stig.
Having stated this, I do agree. These tests very much depend on the tyre condition, weather temp, fuel levels, setup changes.
I find that the Nurburgring is always a great benchmark as it has different sections of track that can be comporable to Race circuits and others can be comporables to roads conditions.
