RL feels like groundhog day sometimes...
OP, just remember, that's a Porsche leaked time, not a publicly verified time. Do not compare it to publicly verified times of other Porsche's that weren't being driven by a professional race driver who lapped 50 times in perfect conditions until they got the best time possible...

GTS 7:26 street tires
GTS 7:22 corsas
12 sec faster than old car, I think it all suspension, "active suspension management", sounds alot like what TPC does with the pasm box in their DSC program.

I keep 911's in my garage because they deliver a real "driving experience" at 50MPH or 90MPH----I gave up on BMW M Cars many years ago because their feedback and feel was just too sanitized----so quiet and not much fun until well past safe driving speeds---AMG's are more fun---mostly because they have loud exhausts and rough suspensions--again---an "inferior" suspension delivers a better experience.
The 911R will be slower because it has a NA motor and a manual transmission ----but many , including me, don't care it is slower....it delivers a much better driving experience---
BTW---I have not driven a 911R---just previous generations of gt3 with a manual transmission---
Cheers

7:22 vs 7:28 for the GT3-RS, with the N0 Pirellis! Right there with the Z06.
That grunt really pays off at the ring.

The difference is that for the C6 Z06 there is a video with full telemetry. We also know who was driving the car and that he is not a pro. The porsche claim is, as usual, supported by no data.
