It’s actually not a bad car very capable. Drive it at Road Atlanta in 90 degree weather, and it’s a beast. If I didn’t own a RS I would own that car for sure it was run on the track, but. not as fun as the RS. RS is killer in the s curves, and more sable plus better visibility. The straights the R will fly, and braking was good also. Good car.

8:10 bridge to gantry is a slow lap for those cars so not a good example of the differences between them. Just two average drivers in badass cars screwing around.

Yup. Didn't look like they were going for any real lap time, just out having fun.

There’s a yellow flag around 3:20. Here’s another run from the same account.

By look at more lap time comparing my .1 GT3 and my nephew's AMG GT-S, they are very comparable and favor one or another depends on which track. We are within a second of each other. I would assume the 3RS and GT-R would be in similar situation too.

Here's his onboard 2:03s at VIR matching Randy Prost's time in his car.
