GS F is the best all-around from what I gather in the review.

Watched the video without sound. Couldn't really care what the guy had to say. Based on the video alone, it looked like the GS-F handles better. The other car was "super-charged", so not surprised it finished faster.

Another case of looking bad and winning compared to looking good and losing.

But the nod goes to the loser.
