Mad Hatter
Gotta go Faster
Matt doesn't have a race car, his is still street legal.
So Matt, are you referring to a GT3 or GT3 Cup car?
FWIW I was on track with many a 991.1 GT3 in my GT350 which was setup like an R. I could hang with them with me typically out braking them, they would start to pull away at mid corner and were able to get back to full throttle sooner. From about 60-130 MPH the cars were very close in acceleration with the GT3 maybe being a half car length quicker down the front straight at Thunderhill. The 991.1 GT3 RS was definitely faster down the straights and out of the corners.
The new 991.2 GT3 that @Drlee50 posted is as fast or faster than the 991.1 GT3 RS. I drove a 991.1 GT3 RS at the Porsche Experience in L.A. on their 1.5 mile road. I spent 90 minutes in the car and 60 of that on the road course. After I was finished I was impressed with what a surgical scalpel the car was and told my son I could instantly be 3-5 seconds a lap faster at Thunderhill in that car compared to my GT350. The instructor in the RS kept commenting how awesome the CC brakes were in the RS. I kept thinking they feel almost exactly like the brakes in my GT350. I had a track day two days later in my GT350 and I was thinking I would be disappointed after driving the RS. I wasn't and I still feel the brakes are on par with the RS. The Cup car is a lot faster than the street GT3. I was also several seconds a lap faster in my GT350 compared to by Boss 302.
Sorry just saw this,,.. These are GT3 Cup cars.... With the sequential gear box etc... full race machines... They have 3.6 and 3.8L models. They all arrived to Chile used, not sure if its from Europe or the USA. So looking at your description... that means that the the 5 second spread I have now is about what you would expect? Should be happy to get it within 4 seconds.
