It should be the 991 RS by the time they film next year (cross fingers, or con rods, no more mayhem).

2014 Car & Driver - Lightning Lap: Done.
2014 Road & Track - PCOTY: Done.
2014 Motor Trend - COTY: Done.
I'm shocked. SHOCKED I tell you that the P1 & LaF are nowhere to be found. In any test, actually. How long ago did those two officially go on sale?
Maybe in 2015...when pigs fly.

The C7 is in the magazine article; apparently it didn't make the vid. It did a 2:53.8.....slower than the Camaro and TT and a few others. Wish they'd tested a GT3...suspect it would have been very competitive; perhaps quicker than everything in this field except the 918.

FWIW the track C&D used was Virginia International Raceway which yielded the time above for the Vette.. Sorry for the confusion. Hope you haven't already left for the bookstore...

Geez....my bad. I just got the Car and Driver Lightening lap issue and confused it with the Motor Trend vid at the beginning of this thread. Duh...

Unfortunately...as far as media comparisions go, I think the ship has already sailed and GT3 was not ready in time for the trip. It's a shame because I would have like to have seen some lap times at a bunch of tracks by some great drivers out there in the comparision tests and really see how it fairs vs competition...now we will have to wait and see what all the magazines do with the GT3 RS when its available for them to test.
