So if anything Topspeeds post has helped confirm my own (that the 570S is either slower or equal to the Turbo S). It does not. Using a 1/4 mile favours an all-wheel vehicle so it can hardly be considered an objective metric against the 570 s which is rear wheel drive. The fact that a rear wheel drive can even keep up with or beat the turbo S (Top gear drag race) is a testament to how fast it is.

I know you mention 300 KM - but almost no one is racing to 300 KM/hr - so when we say straight line it is mostly 1/4 mile we are speaking about and maybe if you stretch it a 1/2 mile run.[/QUOTE]. Still doesn't change the fact that it's way faster once the Turbo S's advantage off the line is negated.


There are videos of a stock 570 s running 10.275 seconds at Atco btw.

Discounting anything above the 1/4 mile is slightly myopic in my opinion.
Not everyone lives their lives a 1/4 mile at a time.

To beat the 570s in a straight line you're going to need a GT2RS as a 600LT is just about as fast.

What would happen from a roll if both cars are stock?
