The Campervan is braking a lot later into that last bend. But still. Fook me that's impressive.

A GT3 is basically a track car and not much can live with it (bar a gt2). He was taking it easy believe me. You should try having a play with one and see what happens
Pretty sure a camper van that weight f**k all with a 911 Turbo engine in it might be able to.

tell you what you get a vw camper with a 911 turbo engine in it and I will take the gt2 (which is quicker than a 911 turbo Porsche BTW), lets see how good the camper is round bends

You're missing the fact that the camper van will be substantially lighter than a GT2. The Camper Van also looked pretty handy in the bends from the gap it was able to maintain from the 911. And the Turbo engine it had was modified, further boosting the performance advantage.

It's not like the road is full of them though, so it's not worth getting worked up about.

Oh but I'm sure it is if you bought you're car with the misguided opinion that it was the bestest hardest car ever.

OK thats it then, I best get on the pistonheads website to tell everyone they should buy a vw camper as it is so much quicker and they would save thousands.

In that video BTW you don't think the guy in the gt3 was trying do you? It looked he was taking it very easy IMO

it's no different to the thousands of people in MODIFIED Imprevos (and Nissan Sunnys) who will tell you that they've done an M car, XJR, S2000 etc

all you can do is laugh at these people

yes, their car may be quicker, but it's a modified car and can only be sensibly compared to other modified cars
