Default 991.2 Ring lap

sorry if this has been posted before... shows just how capable this car is.

a 450bhp GTS, with PASM-S, RWS and PCCB will run rings around a GT3 when it is launched.

Is it me or does that sound much better than any other 991.2 video out there?

I'm curious to see with the torquey motor how it's going to compare to the 991.2 GT3. As much as I would like to see the GT cars stay N/A I think they'll eventually have to turbo charge to stay competitive.

This driver habitually grabs at his crotch in all his ring videos usually at corner exit/ straights. Must be itchy lol.

I'm guessing he was using sport+ in manual? Between two and three minutes the screen switches from the GPS map to some text. Cool video. These cars are amazing.

Judging by the centre console buttons, this car has sport chrono, PDCC (offset shock icon with small letters), and RWS (required for PDCC). I wouldn't be surprised if it had SPASM as well.

He seems totally relaxed but for me those speeds just look plain scary.

Wait, so the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV is faster around the Ring than the 991.2S? http://jalopnik.com/here-s-how-the-a...old-1786406230
