timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 3m 27d Gender: Male Posted 15/12/12 12:19 AM Share Posted 15/12/12 12:19 AM There were 14 contenders.The Rspec did well but I thought it would've at least matched the German cars in the 0-100km/h and the 1/4 mile until I found out they used a manual GTRspec.The Rspec achieved a 12.75 for the 1/4 mile and a 4.67 0-100km/h.The Rspec was faster than the E63 AMG,Audi S7,RS5 and SRT8 from 80-120km/h.Overall it did well,but it still isn't as capable around the track as some of the German heavy hitters although value(for performance) wise,it's trounces them. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83224-gt-rspec-in-motors-performance-car-cup-2012/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 3m 27d Gender: Male Posted 15/12/12 01:13 AM Author Share Posted 15/12/12 01:13 AM Yep the German cars had either larger capacity engines with or without forced induction,AWD and/or dual clutch.If they had auto transmissions they were 7 speed.eg Merc AMGs.I think owners of the Rspec should buy the Mag you will be amazed on how well the Rspec performed. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83224-gt-rspec-in-motors-performance-car-cup-2012/#findComment-1337185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
