If you want to bench race, the GT3 and GTS are very evenly matched. Hockenheim Short: M4 GTS - 1:09.6 991.1 GT3 - 1:09.2 N-ring M4 GTS - 7:27.88 991.1 GT3 - 7:25.xx (no video, just Porsche claim) Pretty well even, I would say. BMW UK had 2 press cars (white and grey). The one Harris drove (white) was not configured for the track - aero is all in street mode and the ride height is clearly the higher of the 2 factory settings (allegedly the dampers were as well - he made comments about the behavior of the suspension that are in line with the car being in street mode or even softer). Moreover, I would hope that the GTS is slower than cars which cost 50% more when new - both the 991.1 RS and AMG GT R were close to $200k as tested by Harris (and the RS was commanding a significant ADM for the first 18 months of its production). In fairness to SYT, a lot of guys with high end machinery love to quote magazine specs but don't have the ability (or balls or whatever you want to call it) to extract more than 8/10ths from their cars. I have been at a track day with an LMP2 car that was running marginally faster than a quick road car. Money /= talent. Well, I doubt anyone tracking a $100k+ (or $80k for a GTS) car is doing so without track day insurance. 991.1 GT3 is definitely more expensive than a GTS, but not 2x. Maybe 1.2x-1.3x.

I do plan on getting a .2 GT3RS next. When I do and after I get fast enough to run in the advanced group (I'm in intermediate run group now and you'll prolly lap me), I shall take you up on this offer.

I've seen too many people get hit or have crashes caused by spills from cars that "passed" tech to not get the insurance. $80k is a lot of money to just eat. |
