Been away from Porsche and RL for a while, thinking about a new .2 S.

Not a stretch at all. The .2 C2S ran a 7:34 on the Ring with Christian Gebhardt at the wheel. Same driver ran a 7:28 in a GT3RS, so a 6 second difference over the length of that track. Given the RS is a faster car than the GT3, that means the standard GT3 is somewhere in the middle. And given that, it's not hard to believe that a C2S would run right with, if not faster, than a .1 GT3 around certain tracks. I know that probably makes some GT car owners upset, that a 'bloated, grand touring, not even a real sports car anymore' car can pull a Joe Isuzu on them, but sadly it's reality.
