Magazine vendors have tested the 3 at 3.0 and 3.1 seconds. Do you have something, now, that demonstrates the RS is quicker? The best source I noted is from Porsche that reflects 3.1 seconds and that's likely conservative.

The point is, it's not ridiculous until proven so.

no way the gt3 rs is slower 0-60 than non rs gt3 with extraneous variables controlled ...puh-lease...

terminal top speed as affected by aero drag are a different subject than what the op asks

anyhow, you are seeking 'published facts' (whatever they are)... i think some of the interceding posts have offered some at this point

cheers

Huh?

The downforce adds a lot of weight so the power to weight ratio at the highest speeds make it slower than the 3. So, it's a good question to find out where in the speed range that transition takes place.

No extra weight?? Displacement = torque will take care of that, so at no speed.
