Didnt expect the gt4rs to be that much quicker than 3rs even with the aero...everyone expects the gt2rs to dominate so thats no shock.

Yeah, I was a little surprised that the GT4RS pulled away with a few car lengths on the GT3RS. I would have thought it would be fairly even, maybe less than 1 car length apart.

For street driving, the GT4 RS is more fun than either of the other two. For the track, pick your poison....For Cars and Coffee, I'll take either of the three.

This thread will cascade I am sure downhill...

GT4 RS was a bit of a surprise, some good diversity in the cars so interesting enough to watch!

The biggest surprise I’ve found driving the 4rs is how fast it is. You know a cayman will be agile but you never think of them as fast. Hauls ***.

The GT4RS in this comparison has an aftermarket exhaust that drops ~30 lbs off the car and adds ~30hp. That's at least a car in that drag race

Who really cares?
A monkey can drive fast in a straight line. And many do. . .

I suspect a more fair test would find the 4rs would be undertired to accelerate as hard as the 3rs. Stil it’s a damn fast cayman

Side note - dang the new 3rs just looks sensational and makes the 991 look old
