Assetto Corsa GT Car Shootout

[TPC]

Hello everybody!
Some days ago a new DLC for Assetto Corsa (AC) has been released, the Dream Pack 2 which I bought instantly.
It brought many new cars to the game and also a new track. My favourite track (after the Nordschleife) in any racing game, the Curcuit de Catalunya

I saw it as an opportunity to start a comparison series between some cars. I started with the GT Cars found in the game which there are 9.
That would be:

BMW M3 GT2

Chevrolet Corvette C7R

Ferrari 458 GT2

Nissan GT-R GT3

Lamborghini Huracan GT3

Mclaren 12C GT3

Audi R8 LMS Ultra

Mercedes SLS GT3

BMW Z4 GT3

My procedure of testing:

I took each car on the Curcuit of Catalunya GP track and made about 10 laps per car, the best lap time counted. All assists are turned off except ABS which is something I just can't handle on a controller. Which brings me to the next point. I played with a controller, and I wouldn't describe me as a particularly skilled driver, but the lap times were consistend and that's what matters I guess.


Results:

Before I show you the actual lap times I want to say, I know these cars drive in different classes in real life.(GT3, GT2, Unclassified) But I thought I'd still compare all of them to eachother since they are 'created' after the same principe. A street car on steroids for the racetrack.

Having said that here are the results!

I hope you lot appreciated this, and we may see another comparison in the future. Leave comments below if you have an idea for a new one or any kind of criticism.

not trying to be a huge critic here but you do have to compare the cars over different circuits at the very least.
the cars are usually pretty close in spec if they are gt2 or gt3, but some may be slightly faster acceleration. some may have slightly higher top end. whilst others may have tried to balance acceleration and top end so they are more balanced.
this will translate to different results on different tracks depending on how you drive.

having said that. its nice to see people spend time to compile a list, i know one person on our server is forever setting times and comparing similar cars, and whilst it may be a bit over the top for me, i can see why people would be interested.
