Who cares? I have DD my GT3 for 3 years and 35k miles.
Without the sound of a natural aspirated internal combustion engine, I wouldn't buy one if it did 0-60 in 1 second and the 1/4 mile in 5 seconds.
Part of the fun of a sports car is the sound...at least it is to me.

Do you have any proof of this? I have lined up against a .2 RS and there was nothing between the 2.

Only on the track. On the straight we manage to reach around 220 kms. I was able to tail a .1 RS out of the corner and pass ahead before the end of the straight but again this is not a fair comparison
as I have a JCR valved race pipe. Keep in mind we were 2 in my car vs 1 in the .1

Gas vs electric is akin to woman vs sex robot.

Also determined by corner exit speed. I can confirm a .1 RS with a side delete is faster in a straight line than a .2 RS, and I can confirm they are neck and neck stock. Perhaps the extra downforce of the .2 plays a role with the slight increase in power

I own both: a 2020 Taycan Turbo (with the Performance Package) and a 2019 GT3RS (with the Weissach Package). I can't tell much difference in 0-70mph or 35-70mph acceleration between the two, which is a tribute to the GT car's responsiveness given the EV's instant torque. The sound and driving experience are, of course, very different. There isn't much overlap between the use cases for the two, except for driving fun, which is high for both.
