This is how it's done right:

On track to break the Huracan Performante record.

Bada$$ P-car for sure! What a weapon.

Damn

Cool but biggest gripe i have with those, its just looks like a riced out 911. Would be nice if Porsche has something between their fast 911s and their low volume super/hypercars

This thing’s already $300,000+, that’s bad enough.

You could make the same argument for any higher performance version...Performante, Speciale, etc.

It is a 911 after all, just a menacing looking one that will have a new Ring record.

I do agree, they need to build a non-911 300-500K car...basically a normal production of a CGT/918 type car.

I really don't get it, w the engine supposedly in the wrong place yet this latest 911 variant is still kicking x n taking names. What gives?

A twinturbo car with an 'autobox', not purist enough(just like 956/962)

Who was the driver? Marc Lieb? Lars Kern?

The GT2RS is a race car that you "could" drive on the streets. I doubt many of us would actually see one on the roads so who cares if it looks "riced out"? If someone paid $300K+ for this thing, they probably want to stand out amongst other p-cars.

Kev312 · 09-21-2017, 03:17 PM

The lame ricer VW reportedly recorded a lap at 6:48:75.

That Porsche car will be a great investment in some years.

Drifter kit helps while doing 208 on the Nordschleiffe straight.

kprocivic · 09-21-2017, 05:51 PM

I would imagine a riced out 911 would look nothing like that.

Motorsportenterprise · 09-21-2017, 07:26 PM

Reclaimed King of the Ring. Apparently did 6:48.75 and I guarantee this will be lower when it does an official lap.

Viper wasn't company sponsored, they literally only got 3 runs in with three different drivers. Budget was basically nothing, Porsche is throwing millions at this with tire warmers, crew, unlimited ring time, etc. Viper is also rwd manual

GT2 is also rwd.

Gravitational forces due to a full moon, perhaps? Not enough sleep? How about the ever popular race suit being a little tight in the crotch?

There is a difference when you spend millions and run as many times as you want vs 3 times. Is the GT2RS fast, yes, it's insane, but I believe they didn't get what they could out of the Viper.

Agreed. I don't believe the ACR has yet to touch on the Nurburgring law of diminishing returns.

No it hasn't smart ass, tire choice alone makes difference. How many runs did porsche do in the gt2rs before they got their time
