Yes indeed, and for some reason, Tuesdays do seem popular for press releases.

At NBR, Thomas says he's faster in GT4 than anything but the 991GT3RS. He says his favorite car, however is the 4.0 997 GT3RS. But, he added the GT4 is faster.

In the right hands, it is truly wicked quick.

And trust me, my "regular" GT4 is awesome to me.

I think there are some on this forum that know more than me what is coming next.

I find it interesting that in all the early reviews of the GT4 lap times weren't done often.

Ok ok fine -- but surely the GT4 is faster than the 918 right? Or at least the CGT??

Default Maybe This
This maybe old news to you - but this is what's being run in Europe GT4 races.
Is that what he's talking about?
See here:

Interesting thread. Thanks for the insight in the 1st post, and the guessing game by everyone else ;-)

Next thing will be Gt4 is faster than a 918 Spyder. Come on. In equal hands Gt4 won't come even close to a RS 4.0, let alone 991 GT3 or 991 RS. Next time the Cool Aid drinkers will believe their Cayman is faster than a Viper ACR.
