goes to show you how freaking awesome the new 991 chassis is. its the single BEST car ive ever driven, I absolutely loved the 991s and 4s I drove.
I predicted some time ago that once the OMG EPS stage was over, people would realize the genius that is the 991 chassis. Its such a huge improvement over the 997 it feels like a 2 generation gap instead of just one.
that said, on a tight track I think the f8x did great. I do think that its clear that the PSS (everyones favorite tire here) was way overmatched in its 275 diameter on the track. I look forward to seeing how a set of say RE11 or ad08r tires in 295 perform.
I certainly would consider bumping up to 275/295 with a good set of 9.5/10.5 width wheels. At the minimum sounds like the m3/4 needs proper extreme summers for track duty.
however, seems like the car is set up for great fun as it is.
I loved this review because it talks about 3 of my favorite cars while accurately pointing out the positives and negatives of each. EVO really does write some of the best articles.
Im in amazement at how good sports cars are getting these days. The golden age of performance for sure.
