Default why wouldn't you believe that?...

in a comparison between the 360 and Porsche TT, even though the numbers favored the 360, the revieweres couldn't help keep saying "we were amazed at how quickly the TT left the 360 behind"

TRACTION rules...if you can get a good "launch" you can win race after race with a "slower" car.

Happens ALL the time.

Default Look at the RS4. The reflections on it are not the same

It is the only thing in focus. The lines are sharp unlike around the Ferr. I'm not an expert. Just looks odd.

Default yes I see what you are saying...

photo IS a bit odd...the focal point can't really be the left side of the photo and yet the RS4 is fairly sharply in focus.

I'll give you that the photo does look a bit fishy but I'm still inclined to believe it given that it's posted on a site that is in the native language of the event so the thousands of people who attended the event likely saw the website and woulda spammed the guy if he posted a bogus pic.

I do buy the reflections though...silver on an overcast day can look like that and the reflections on a red car would be different.

Interseting.

Default oh now that I think about it...

if the photographer happened to pan EXACTLY at the same speed as the front of the RS4, the photo would appear like this even though its out of the focal point. I buy it a little more now given that.
