i wouldn't imagine 599 GTO could keep up with a stock Turbo S, much less a tuned one. i'd still rather have the GTO...

Two cars on my bucket list...the Turbo S and the 599GTO. I'd be happy to have either...to OP's original video...no surprise at all about the results.
A stock Turbo S barely keeps up with a Ferrari Italia. 599 GTO is faster than both! That's in stock form.

Why youtube of course...
Youtube races are real..... Ferrari Italia = Turbo S. It's the real thing, not just numbers....

DMS Turbo S has 611hp, PDK and is 100kg lighter, so the result figures.
You're confusing press cars with customer cars.

according to the issue before the newest one of R&T, the 458 Italia does a 0-60 time of 3.0 and a quarter of 11.0 at 128.5mph. the turbo S (stock) does 0-60 in 2.6 and 1/4 in [email protected] i can't find any official magazine testing times for the GTO but the manufacturer estimated times is 0-60 in 3.35 secs and though i couldn't find a quarter mile time, i did find one stat saying it would do 0-124mph in 9.8 secs so i'd imagine it's just a hair quicker in the quarter than the turbo S, if not dead even
Not really. YOU are confusing dig races with roll races, actually. The video I posted showed a roll race too.
Which car is 100 kg lighter? GTO weighs 1.5 tonnes. Turbo S weighs 1.6 tonnes.
Turbo S = Italia

The actual weight of a GTO is 1680kg(ish), just as the actual weight of a 599GTB is 1791kg. Don't believe everything on the brochure. The video I posted shows a race over a mile. Dig or no dig, the 458 had plenty of space to come back if it was faster.
The problem with roll-races is that some clown always jumps the throttle, so you rarely see a true picture. In the first race the 458 looked faster but it got a jump. In the second, when the Turbo S had the window up, there was nothing in it. Considering press 458s do 0-180mph in 23.3s, the 458 should have torn the doors off the Turbo S as it came past.
