A C2S is "more or less" a base 911 now? $16k is more or less? If you put the difference in cost between a GT350 and C2S into track modding a GT350.. it'd absolutely destroy the stock C2S. It's not impressive that the 911 C2S beat it and in general it's an apples to oranges comparison.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Epic.

Sigh.... sometimes people just like to argue I feel... ok, it's not the absolute base model... you're right, its the one right above base.. I stand corrected.

It sounds like with a few suspension tweaks to cure the under-steer the GT350 would have had an equal or better time. In another thread the 911 faired poorly in straight line acceleration and braking, placed dead last in sound and now just barely beats a car on the track that cost 1/2 as much. What is it we're paying $150k for?

The gloss black plastic in your 992 console are as cheap and tacky-looking as any American muscle car.

That goes both ways...put Pilot Sport Cup 2s (standard on the GT350) on the Carrera, and it will knock significant time off.

Are you referring to the thread where it was put up against the Tesla 3? Here is what you're getting for your $150k ($125k, actually): A comfortable GT car that can beat a dedicated track car on track, and accelerate as quick as one of the quickest electric cars. What more do you want?

What a troll sh**show this thread is.

while I am by no means a fan of it.. and have already covered mine with PPF... I humbly disagree... there are grades and this is better. Last thing I'm going to say about it in this thread as it's not the reason I posted it.

992Sam

wasn't my intention... simply pointing out how well it did against a truly great track car.

Not your fault. The troll sh**posts have gone down compared to a few months ago, but still predictable. Every new model release is like this.

This. It wouldn’t even be close. Tires, tires and tires. All day long.

I really don't get these threads. Porsche beats this; Porsche loses to that; Porsche ties the other. Unless you're buying a Senna, your stock vehicle is gonna get whipped at the track sooner or later. So what? The sun will rise again.

I personally can fall in love with any almost any car that's well-engineered to a purpose. Even a Camry is interesting in its own way, purely as an appliance. While I wouldn't own a Mustang of any flavor, more power to the zillions of people who fork over their hard-earned money to buy them. Enjoy them while we can, fellas -- big V8-powered muscle cars will be gone soon enough, replaced by battery-powered acceleration devices from which you can also run your circular saw.

Next incredible Mustang is here: https://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/models/shelby-gt500. It's a pretty bad bitch. Will it spank a 911 on an airport runway, and in turned get its butt handed it to it by a Model 3 with some new over-the-air Uber Ludicrous Mode until its battery goes flat? The odds say perhaps.

As for me, I've mentioned before I'm on the cusp of ordering a 992 C4 or C2S, knowing full well the interior is a little cheap in places, and it's slower in a straight line than a number of cars that cost far less money. But I'm not buying Porsche #2 to get into a pissing match with people. I'm buying for the history, design, and engineering, and paying a fat premium for it. That's my choice. What other people drive is their business. Enjoy your amateur YouTube racing.

Actually even if you buy a Senna, a Reynard F3000 you can buy for $80k would probably beat you handily. Those cars are like 5 secs off the pace of a formula1 car on some tracks.

Greatness. And my point exactly. Enjoy your cars, people, and don't get caught up in the details. Life is too damned short.
