I think driver skill has a lot to do with it too. Also how far the owner is prepared to push their pride and joy. What's a GTS300 worth these days 70-80K?

I've also been a bit dissapointed with the performance of the GTS 300. It's no feather weight at about 1700KG and from dyno runs I've seen they only get about 225KW at the back wheels.

Catching and passing are two very different things. Were were you faster than him? His lap times may have been quicker but you holding him up in the corners and under brakes. The mustang would probably be lighter than the GTS and if your 347 produces the numbers you might hose him down the straight.

Cheers
