MM3.9GT3

NCM Motorsports Park, Bowling Green, Kentucky. How can the GT-R be over four seconds faster than the GT3?

AMG GT-R: 1:28.25
Huracán Performante: 1:29.70
720S: 1:29.92
ZL1 1LE: 1:32.15
GT3 (Manual): 1:32.39

Because it's faster.. This has been known for awhile now. Aero works and the motor sings!

Sorry, I just realized that was discussed in detail in another thread.

Because manual. Get pdk for faster lap times

If the PDK is worth only 3 seconds on the Nordschleife (over 7 minutes), how is it going to be worth 4 seconds on a course of 1.5 minutes?

The almighty 720S got beat by the Performante and AMG GT-R. Too bad they didn't have a PDK 991.2 GT3 or the new GT2RS to compare

Jack - the driver for the timed laps as well as the author of the bulk of the article - explained why the GT3 appears relatively slow. It's down to the setup of the car that Porsche chose to provide them.

The AMG GT-R is no joke. I just wish I could like the long hood

Must be pretty serious. 577hp 3600lbs and it's beating cars with 660-700hp and 3000lbs.

didnt say pdk would make up 4 seconds on a small circuit . Just was stating pdk would be faster. Depends on car set up per track as well. Whoever published 3 second difference between manual and pdk on the ring... im calling BS

The bigger news is that the lowly $70k, 3900 lb, manual trans, camaro is faster.

Wrong gearbox

Just Porsche's own professional race driver and tester of GT3. Not known for BS...

when it first appeared I could not believe how ugly it was... now I secretly lust for one..
