Enjoyed that a lot. Ranks up there with the best reviews. I feel fortunate to be able to own one of these.

Really enjoyable review. Thank you for posting.
Liked the bit at the end where his comments express his regret at having to hand back the car.

How does that time rank with Randy driving?

Somehow you know what is going to be said (having seen so many of the previous reviews) but it's still great to watch each new review as it comes out. Just reconfirms how awesome the GT3 is.

Lap times are given at about 10:00 in the video.
GT3 is only 1.65 s faster than the 991 50th Anniversary, and 3.74 s slower than the 918.
IIRC, at the 'ring, the 991 C2S was around 7:37, 997.2 GT3 a little slower than that, and the 991 GT3 around 7:25. The delta between the 991 C2S and 991 GT3 translates to ~2 s at a more typical track with lap times in the 1:30 range. So while the GT3 is fairly fast, seems that much of that speed is simply due to being a 991.
Also, IIRC, rumors are that the RS will be about 7:20 at the 'ring, which translates to ~1 s faster than the GT3 at a 1:30 track.

7:20 seems a little disappointing given the GT2's 7:18.
