      it is faster than a hypercar, BUT not quicker than a Hypercar around a track. It is slower than a GT3 car with half the horsepower around a track.

      zero assist is faster actual (if you nail braking point). Traction control cut the acceleration when there is no need sometimes, but if you use it in race, it insure you can't slide at all (at indy last curv for example)

  • @realstradman

    • @AlexanderWest
      @AlexanderWest  6 років тому +1

      klekoni pirellis slicks, the senna GTR will be quicker yes. More downforce

    • @realstradman
      @realstradman 6 років тому

      Thanks Alex. I wonder how the standard Senna will fare. I've got 2 buddies who are getting one and we're trying to figure out what times they can expect at Spa on standard road tyres. I figure a 2:25 probably.

    • @AlexanderWest
      @AlexanderWest  6 років тому

      a GT3 car (depending on BOP) on slicks will do 2:15, P1 GTR (with almost 2x the BHP) maybe 2.18, Koenigsegg bragged about their 2:32 lap, which i think the MSO HS/675LT beat. i think 2:25 will be doable without too much risk taking. Spa is a track that favours downforce, if you compare the GT3 vs P1 GTR times. so on the plus side for the Senna you have 825bhp, decent downforce, not too heavy, and on the downside road tyres...

    • @realstradman
      @realstradman 6 років тому

      Yes agree with that Alex. The guys getting the Senna currently have 675LT's(athough not MSO HS) They are currently at about 2:36 on a good lap with road tyres. So that is why I figured with more HP and downforce should be good for at least 10 seconds. I needed to know so I know how much faster they will be than my ACR Extreme when we play at the track again!! I'll be getting 840hp 9.0 L upgrade very soon and will be running slicks eventually on track so hope to be around maybe 2:28 then at Spa. So Senna's will at least be in sight and not disappear completely from me!

    • @AlexanderWest
      @AlexanderWest  8 років тому

      top speed, you would need a very long straight, and possibly different tyres.

    • @johnmay330
      @johnmay330 8 років тому

    • @AlexanderWest
      @AlexanderWest  8 років тому +1

      there is no limiter, even if you have a straight long enough, it would be a risk reward pushing the tyres much above 330km/h i think. they are racing tyres so not designed for that type of speed

      a GT3 car completly depends on the BOP for the series. My Pro in GTOpen did a 2:16, in Blancpain they are at 2.18 and with GTR 2.19. at Monza i would guess the GTR is quicker, but otherwise on most tracks a GT3 car will be quicker. it is a very different driving experience though
