A good time will go a long way to proving it is worthy to compete with the Mercs and BMWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 11m 15d Gender: Male Posted 04/05/13 05:32 AM Author Share Posted 04/05/13 05:32 AM I agree!.Although a Nurburgring time doesn't necessarily mean that it's the be all and end all measure of a car's performance,world wide it is considered as afeat that needs to be completed by any manufacturer if they wish to gain "credibility" for their cars' performance.The upcoming GTS would "need" to complete asimiliar or faster lap time than the Mercs,Audis and BMWs that GMH believes it will compete against.If the GTS does indeed accomplish a faster lap time well........most of GMH's marketing would be self completed and no doubt successful.
