Default According to PCA Carrera T just as fast as GT3 RS!

Now we have proof 991.2 Carrera T is just as fast as GT3 RS, GT2 RS , 918 and faster than 991.2 GT3 and GT4. New 2019 PCA parade AX rules have moved 991.2 Carrera T out of S10 class in 2018 all the way to S13 which is super zoomie class. 991/991.2 GT3, GTS and S in slower PCA AX class than T now! Did somone in T embarrass a bunch of GT3s last year?

I’ll take it! Love fact it’s rated faster than 991.2 GT3 and GT4 by PCA officials. Recognizing superior handling of lightweight T over entry level GT cars.

I saw an article that stated the Toyota Avalon can back out of a parking space faster than the Carrera T.

For the 2019 Parade classifications for Autocross, the Carrera T is listed as S10, same as the 997 base and S and the 991 base and the 992 base.

The 991 S and GTS are in S11, along with the 992 S.

Clearly they didn’t have T in sport plus mode. But Avalon is a worthy opponent at the mall.

"Now we have proof 991.2 Carrera T is just as fast as GT3 RS, GT2 RS , 918 and faster than 991.2 GT3 and GT4."

Option 1: That sentence is a joke and it is meant to be funny, so "haha", there you go...

Option 2: That sentence is not a joke. How far will Carrera T owners go????? Are they really that delusional?

That’s great as there is a word document floating around with T being classed in S13. Local club changed my class from s10 to S13 and sent me word doc they indicated was new 2019 pca national classification for T. So I thought I was doomed! Thanks finding this!

Plot thickens. PCA Zone 7 has now confirmed move of Carrera T to S13 which is in fact same class as 991.2 GT3/GT2 RS. Our zone and local club Autocross guys indicating Carrera T can be equipped with all sorts of magic options and it likely has generous dusting from a unicorn. Just received confirmation from Zone that we are in fact moved to S13 class.

So on West Coast we are are believed to be faster than GT3s and just as fast as 991.2 GT3 RS and GT2 RS according to autocross classifications. Can’t make this stuff up!

Anyone in Zone 7 want to keep me company? Not to many GT2 RS running autocross out here!

I met a guy last weekend at Southern Exotics sports car club that had a 2017 991.2 C2 which was heavily modified to produce 600 hp with the OEM 3.0L. I'm not a mod guy so I was a bit lost in all his technical stuff he was going through with me. He put huge turbos in it with a ECU tune and exhaust system to get that HP. He showed me video of boost pressure in the mid-20s and said he was the first 991.2 guy to install these turbos which are the biggest available. He said he crushes GT3s and mused he would be a competitor with the GT2RS. Completed by some shop in West Palm Beach. I wish I had more detailsbut I was shocked he was getting that much HP out of a 3.0L engine.

No doubt car can be tuned to be very quick. I have heard of 1000 hp 3.0 9a2 motors. However These are showroom stock classes on stock wheels and tire sizes. 911 T now runs against GT3 RS in same class.

Clearly some high muckity-muck in Zone 7 SS07 doesn’t want to be beaten.

PCA: It’s not about the cars; It’s about the politics.
