Default Would Turbo S with Cup 2 be faster than GT3

Around the track? What would the Ring time be? The only reason I ask is b/c I drove a Turbo S yesterday and man is that thing fast. And the PDCC does seem to alleviate some of the extra weight. Yes its heavier, so I wonder how the brakes would hold up with multiple sessions BUT that torque and pull is insane! The published Ring time is 7:26. I bet with Cup 2's the car is good for 7:20 or below!

Yeah, i reckon it would be faster at the Ring because you carry a lot of speed round there. On a 'normal' circuit, the GT3's tight gearing makes up for the lack of torque.

I suspect it might be faster indeed. I am 2+ seconds faster in the GT3 than I was in the TTS on a 1.7 mile track. The TTS had Michelin PSS and slightly more negative camber than stock (I have -3 in the GT3). That said, my experience (the whole package) in the GT3 is much more fun and satisfying. If I could, I would own both and use the TTS for DD only.

I really like the Targa if I were to own (2) Porsches and one for DD

I love the Targa as well. A hypothetical Targa Turbo S would be a dream DD.
