Not much of a test when a Cayenne is included yet the GT BS and 765LT are not. I guess it would be less believable when they still nominate the C8. :/

I agree. It takes work to make a mid engine sports car look bad but Chevy sure did it.

terrible execution

agree on that but pretty impressive that the Cayenne TT coupe now has the record for the fastest lap by SUV, beating previous record by the Urus

Looking forward to the 992TT-S lap . I am surprised with their comment that the C8 is the only car on "street" tires, with all the other ones on "R-compound". First time I hear the PZ4 to considered an R-compound

At least here they say it is also shod with street tires, beating the 991.2TT-S that was on R-compounds (PZ Corsa). Could the order of the videos be an indication of wins this one ?

I will. I intend to use my 992TT as a dual duty car: daily driver and track toy . Seems like the 992 GT3 will be shod with the same size tires as the 992TT/TTS, so it will give us a good option.
