991.2 CS vs GT cars on track.
Hi this is my 1st post about my track modified 991.2 cs. Mods are APR GTS turbos with 93 octane map, TPC DSC controller, Ferrodo brake pads with Castrol SRF, FF06 19 inch wheels with Hoosier A7, GMG roll bar. This platform is amazing it have put times comparable to GT4RS and GT3RS they are also modified except for the 2023 GT3. Here is my best lap from the time attack.

Looks good, although I am not certain of the comparison being made, do you think you would turn the same times in your car and the gt cars if you were driving them under the same circumstances? I have a really hard time believing that … which speaks more to your skill as the pilot in your existing comparisons. Kudos to your driving.

I agree with you about the 991.2 3.0 Turbo platform. The are numerous examples on this forum of these cars modified to be ‘GT Killers’. The capabilities of these cars are simply amazing with simple bolt-on modifications.

I think fair equivalent comparisons need to be made to make GT killer claims … what is the difference between Hoosier A7 and PZeros, cups, mp4s? I mean what is the lap time difference between mediums and hards in F1? Same driver? Same conditions? Not saying that there is not impressive gains, but in a world that clocks to .01 second intervals ,,, everything is relevant. I personally can’t draw any conclusions from what he posted, except that he is happy with his own lap times ,,, but maybe that was his goal with this post?

The bestlaps
Always look slow. Nice driving, cant imagine getting to drive a track on slicks. That must be a blast.

The only true comparison between the different cars is if the same driver drove them. You can take a slow car and make it fast if you know how to drive. I agree with your post though.

Hi, my goal was to demonstrate that the 991.2 carrera S with some crucial mods is a great car that can even compete with the GT cars.
Those cars also have slicks and other mods, but more important they are being driven by excellent drivers with experience in
tracks in the USA and Europe. So yes, Im really proud of being able to make comparable times with drivers that I admire in a not so
expensive car. Kudos to all!!!

That’s a slow track. He only gets to 120mph. The times between the GT cars and his car would be wider on a faster track, but still a good performance from a talented driver.

On track, I'll stick with a GT car because the whole car is really up to the task—particularly a GT2 RS, which has a talent for keeping the track ahead car-free.
On tighter back roads, a well-driven 3.0-liter 991.2 cedes nothing to a well-driven GT3 in terms of pace (and perhaps even has an unfair advantage) so long as the twin-turbo 991.2's brakes don't get smelly. So then it's just really down to what experience you prefer, and both are wonderful with the edge in thrills going to the GT3 of course and the GT2 RS's insanely easy speed actually working against it.
To live with every day, or for one 911 to do it all? I'll take the 3.0-liter car every time. We are truly living in a golden age, with something for everyone.

***3.0-liter build-outs like those of @4 Point 0 or @Grantsfo are deeply appealing, and leave me curious about their driving experience. Too far gone, or pure genius? I've seen those kind of builds go both ways.

991.1 C2S with a RR supercharger will smoke both you describe above PLUS have the sound thats been lost with the little turbo's that are used. :P(. LOL
