What if we put Dundon headers on the .2 3RS?
Would if we tuned the 600lt on race gas? The options are endless... at this level (within a second or two) it comes down to the driver.

Oh, yeah, what if we put wider rubber or slicks on the RS? And what about if we had Estre doing all lap times?

Yeah, goes on and on.

That's why the most relevant comparison is how they were born at the factory with the same driver on the same day.

Oh even better, because I have Dundon headers on my RS and the 600LT has Novitech exhaust and stage 2 tune!

Guys, lap-times don't matter. Just get the car that gives you the most goosebumps in the turns.

600LT arrived early. Just took her out for a short drive and didn’t really get to wind it out much.

Initial impressions, it looks great. It pulls way harder than the RS with the Novitech stage 2 tune. It doesn’t sound nearly as good as the RS, even with the Novitech exhaust. The Dundon headers on the 3RS are just epic, and not much can compare. I didn’t really get to test the 600LT in the corners yet or play with all the settings/modes, but I will say so far the Porsche feels tighter and my impression it has better build quality. That’s not to say that the 600LT sounds bad or has bad build quality, but hard to match Porsche in that regard.

Overall, I’m happy with it so far and look forward to driving it and getting to know the car better, but it won’t replace the 3RS.

The reality is there are plenty of people that buy good base cars to improve their laptimes whether it be in competition or as a personal challenge. I wouldn't mind a 600LT, looks like a great package that would go a lot quicker on stickies - I think in recent years Mclaren have squared the circle nicely 675lt, 600lt and 765lt. As one of the posters above noted there are a lot of Porsche owners that are moving across to Mclaren or perhaps to put it another way choosing a Mclaren as their first choice drive for track and other competition. Its not hard to see why.

Your rear tires are 0.5" shorter in height than stock while your fronts are 0.6" taller than stock. Your rake has changed. No issues with traction control?

Not that I’ve noticed yet, but I only took it for one short drive.
