The truth is... most of the time... same tire to same tire... the 2RS will be faster than the 3RS... simply because 'most people' don't pick the throttle up soon enough to begin with... so if you're late to the throttle with 700hp... it's far worse to be late to the throttle with 520hp.
I'm in agreement... in a 'solo/autox' environment... tighter short tracks... the 3RS could be as fast (possibly faster)...
But if I have 'one lap' to give the fastest time possible... equally tired cars... the 2RS is going to deliver the fastest lap 95% of the time, IMO.
I still love my incoming non-WP 3RS! But wouldn't kick a 2RS out of the garage!
Best Regards,
Dave

Extrapolating from their times .2 3RS and
2 RS would be within a second of each othe on same tires.
That certainly is not worth a $200k delta in price. At least in my book and when you have to give up a Motorsport NA engine in the process for TT to get there.
If you ask me the market has it backwards. Oh well good for me at least.
as a new GT3RS on Cup 2's. $50,000 difference in cost pays for a whole lot of Tires!

All very impressive times, the GT3RS is flying with almost 200hp less than a 2RS and so close on times, BUT what I am extremely impressed by is that the PDK GT3 went only 1.3 seconds slower(on this track) than the 2RS on the same tires with much less aero than both RS variants, 1:13.4 GT3(manual 1:13.9), 1:12.1 2RS. These cars are ripping and I, unfortunately, will never be able to drive this fast and experience this level of grip on these tires.

i think bottom line is that a better driver in one as opposed to the others will turn a faster lap. They are all that fast.
My Tran Am TA2 Boss 302 with me behind the wheel has been passed by lesser cars. The driver is 80% of it.

I agree. A good driver in any of the cars will beat a fair or poor driver in any of the cars. And as far as lap times go, I'll happily sacrifice a second per lap for the added fun of driving the GT3 with a standard manual.

If I was forced to pick one PDK it would be the .2 GT3 RS.
Not interested in a Turbo-for now
But- if I cared about owning the "King of the Mountain"-we all know the GT2 sits on top. To be frank, I really can not tell the difference on the street between the .2 GT3 RS and the new GT2 unless I had a close-up view.
Plus,it looks like first time owners of the new GT2 are flipping their cars so what does that say.

He he loves his 3RS.

2RS for me over 3RS any day of the week. I have 2 other friends who also have both they prefer 2RS...everyone is different. Wait until you drive a 2RS then you will know how slow the 3RS feels...I suggest you don't because then you would want to sell it for a 2RS lol my 2 cents

There are straights at tracks that a 2rs would be fun to punch, but I don't want it around the corners and that's what makes the track fun anyway.
I think any mag/vlog could pick any of the three on any day and that's pretty impressive accomplishment for Porsche.
