@sirebel (Damn, can't reply to the lower reply) There are some key differences, though.

The 911 RSR, despite being a weaker car compared to the rest, feels fast in the corners, largely because the high grip in relation to the speed, plus the median brake distance, means the overtaking commitment ceiling is lower: I can stretch my braking zone later, and because I don't need to brake as hard anyway, I can get back on the power immediately.

That said, the Corvette is even better. Its grunt is matched by its magnanimous grip, which raises confidence when you want to load up the car on entry, and you can easily punch your nose in for an overtake. Alittle sluggish from a standstill, but in 3rd gear it hauls, with more hustle than the RSR. Great for when you need to catch up or force the pace.

But not as great as the 488, though. Thing's a dreamboat: svelte looks, amazing note, great controllability, and the speed. You can dare pass outside on Catalunya's T3, make the pass, and still stay on track. It is also a challenge to drive: Because there's more grunt than grip, the cornering limit is closer, and correcting slip is also a bigger event than the Corvette.

They are quite similar, yes, but each car has certain differences that will fit certain driving styles, and each car has distinct advantages and disadvantages, which can be used as leverage on any track and any mode. It's not too hard to see.
