Carrera's new Porsche 918 Spyder

Postby ourwayband » Fri Oct 03, 2014 8:43 am

Harry has already did a great review on the new release,but just had to add my 2 cents..Hope this is in the right place..
Carrera hit a home run with this one.Straight from the box,onto my wood track and she runs with some of the better cars we have already tuned....Stock tires,stock everything..Smooth and fast..I haven't even scuffed the tires yet...
Thanks Carrera!

Good job and thanks for adding to the reports. I think this car is like a "sleeper". Once modern GT guys find out how fast it is...they will buy them up.

It is slightly smaller/lighter than Ferrari 458, Mercedes, F99XX...etc. With PG tires it's a scalded cat.

I just received mine yesterday. Best time on stock tire 8.339, best with PGT 8.201. Seems like with the PGT they have to much grip.

The cars are fast but not real close to my Porsche GTR3 at 7.599 with PGT tires. I will keep working on them.Image
