Just trying to see why you say the base 991.2 beats it with "ease" when I haven't seen figures to back it up yet.

Actually I have a couple for that.
MT did a test of a base 991.2 with a manual which was 1.9 seconds faster than an M4 Comp around Thunder hill. The M4 was DCT so if you factor that into the 911 it would be at least 3 seconds faster.
Yes I do have results for that against a reg M4 in which a competition isn’t materially faster.
Here is a base 991.2 beating an M4 with ease. A competition is not going to take off 1.2 seconds vs a regular M4.

I honestly think on cup tires, a base 991.2 would be neck and neck with the M4 GTS.
The other thing is, the 911s are far easier to achieve these items. They don’t need to work as hard as the M does (which is why even the 991.1 base was able to beat the M4 around tracks despite the massive deficit in power to weight) and made up in a world class brilliant chassis. And, also over time the 911 will be much more consistent lap after lap where the M will start fade.
