thanks for that video - very helpful
so thats a 3.6-->3.9 with a 2010RS wing and lid?
there are a few sections where he pulls away for a tiny bit - I think with the rpm advantage and your gear change
maybe not on that track with all those turns but on a HP track I think a pro would make it a real race against a 4.0 with the looks of that video
and your blue 3.8RS had a tune and full headers + exhaust?

A track with a lot of turns is where a flexible, torquey engine really shines. Who cares about an oval track?
(I am just harassing you).Correct my blue car had full Akrapovic and a ECU tune. Also a full cage (70lbs?) and a passenger (180lbs).
3.9 vs 4.0, ain't going to happen. Sorry

Once you throw turns, there are more factors at play. The 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 and 4.0 have massive downforce and better suspensions compared to the old 997.1 GT3/RS, so with equal power, the 997.2 GT3 RS produces faster lap times.
The best performance for the price and best value is the GT3 RS 3.8.

Inside info on Randy's "savings fund" says cup and scud are in the works. Nick gets a RS and he is out of the South Tampa narrow body club, and will be eating dinner alone most nights.
