@BR2+: Well it is front engine, rear wheel drive, and very powerful, on the other hand, it's Italian, not American, and has a V12. I sayit's a GT car.

it's basically a Ferrari muscle car. very good but not insane straight-line speed, and rather more usable, with a boot.

Yes, the f12 is down a bit on most tracks compared to most new supercars but its not so much the weight as its a grand tourer. The suspension even on track setting is softer than the others. Although the engine is truly ferocious and straight line speed ahead of most of the opposition, its the softer settings that lets it down on most of the tracks.

Hmmm 11.1s @ 129.8mph vs 11.3s @ 131.7 mph, and a 3 second lead at Laguna Seca.

The SLS AMG Black Series is definitely the clear victor here. I'm surprised how heavy the F12 is, the SLS isn't exactly lightweight but the big Ferrari is just too big...
