He's not all that relaxed. He keeps adjusting his crotch because of the "pucker factor".

Actually that's only 4 seconds faster than the .1. I expected a bigger gap with all the additional torque, given how much Porsche said the torque helped the 718 on the Ring.

I'm 90% sure he never uses the paddles. He's letting the PDK do the shifting.

Funny. That's exactly how I was able to figure out that I'd seen seen this video already ....... Ah yes, I thought - the fast dude, with the rot.

Great lap, nasty itch.

The message in the nav screen must be the low gas warning. The nav asks if it should plot a route to the next gas station.

Less weight? 12 gallons x 6 pounds = 72 pounds. Drain the washer fluid. Now you're over 80 pounds.

Cmon, he didn't grab his crotch, he was adjusting cables on his lap. If you see it closely, you can see he was actually grabbing cables. I think it might be headphone cables.

Bemo

He's balling

I'm in .. but there will be homework!

Maybe he just need to go pee.

That's might explains why he needs to finish the lap fast.

If the 991.2 GTS is this capable, how does Porsche sell a 9912 NA GT3 with a very comparable (or worse) Nurburgring time? The Turbo v. NA question is looming larger for the next GT3.

This driver will be more comfortable with auto-steering so he can two-hand his itchy parts.

Larry Cable

which is why I expect the .2 GT3 to have the 4.0 N.A engine and 6sp manual from the 'R' ... its the only way the next Gt3 will be faster than the .2 GTS IMO

How do we know this car is a new 991.2 based GTS? I'm missing that link. And we already know the new GTS will be 450 HP?? Thanks.

Larry Cable

its not, you misread the thread, my point was that since this is the 'S'es performance at the Ring, a forthcoming GTS will only better that.

How do we know its will be 450? We dont, but I think its a relatively safe extrapolation that any "powerkit" for the 3.0l tt should be able to extract an
extra 20-30 bhp from an F.I platform than it is to get the same from a similar
N.A powerplant.

GTS "packaging" would suggest that they would bundle the usual goodies; RWS, PASM-S (option), PSE, PCCB (option) and they may even tweak the suspension etc

addendum: look at the Macan's 3.0l V6tt it goes from 340 in the 'S' to 440 in the tt/w performance pkg ... I think we could expect a reasonably similar range for the 911's 3.0l F6 tt ... which would suggest 470bhp max, but I think they will cap the powerkit in order to leave a gap so as not to embarass the next GT3.2 so I'd predict 440-450 max

^thank you, Larry.
