It was the last session of the day and the tires were shot but Will couldn't resist playing with this Porsche GT3 while giving a ride along.

@justme307 7 ай бұрын

Seeing how the GT3 was in front it would exit the corner first and be first on the throttle. For that same reason the GT350 is last on the brakes so it looks like it's reeling the GT3 when entering the corner. So it's not really walking away from the GT350R. It's racing dynamics.

As far as competing with the GT3, the Ford looked like it was being driven for thrills, not for lap times. Stepping the back out, 3:04 slow exit but then caught up, lot's of fun but not the fastest way.

@JuergenGDB 11 ай бұрын

Not to mention the white Porsche 993 in front of the 991 GT3 was slow as hell. It did sound like the GT350 owner was killing the RPM's killing exit speed out of the corners by having to shift all the time.

Not sure why so much "shade" is being thown about "chase vs follow", "destroying on corner exit" and such. That is great driving in a great car behind a bonefide supercar with a professional racing driver who helped set up the 350....and keeping pace. Also, please tell me how your sound is being recorded. I have tried using a mic by the rear license plate running to my phone, but the audio clips VERY badly.

Porsche has slight advantage IMO (GT350 owner) but if you can drive the Mustang like you stole it advantage is gone Wide angle lens will make any car at corner exit under throttle look like it's pulling way more than it actually is
