F#cking A!

Tied with C-GT?

Ah, I see Walther Röhrl did a 7:28 in 2004. C-GT still king, barely.

YYC930

Unreal.........20 seconds faster than the F430 is like an eternity.

It probably wasn't as interesting a ride as the 996 GT2...I mean with that rotten PSM, right stuka? Sorry. Couldn't resist.

A most impressive time. I hope I can get one.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

pcar964

Let's not get ahead of ourselves... I heard that WR set this time on a clear track. Not so sure the other times were set on a clear track...

eclou

At 7:32 he could have stopped and allowed a family of ducks to cross and still beat the 7:46 of the 996GT2

porschemeister

what was the lap time for a GT3RS?

gete3

Manufacturers claims are just claims. We will have to wait for the GT2 to appear in this list to know its real time.

The car is an impressive achievement. Although, can anyone confirm what kind of tires were used for the test? It would be awesome if it was just PS2, which means there is probably another 5 or more seconds to be had with PSC.

But you know what I saw last weekend? Someone pulled an E46 M3 on their 997 GT3. This guy had the steering wheel turned waiting to merge.

When the chance came, he floored it, and the car shot straight out.

To illustrate what a difference TC makes to my wife, I did the same in my car, and sure enough, massive sideways action.

So, would you like to be around this guy on the track with his TC on and him doing something as unnatural as this, not knowing the real consequence of what would have happened with it?

That's my point.

There is no "real time". There are far too many variables.

JAMS

Huh?
