because mag times. Its odd to have the GT3 and RS marketed as the 'track cars'. And then the turbo S can beat it on track and is a more comfy daily. We are already there though. the 991.1 turbo was running the same track times as a GT3rs (on cup tires) on evo's laptime leaderboard.

This is true. The turbo was as fast if not faster on summer tires than the 991.2 3RS. It’s just flat out a capable car not matter how you slice it. Then again, it does have appreciably more HP and TQ than the 3RS so that is why it is able to keep pace. Ultimately, the GT cars provide a vastly different experience that is not only more emotionally charge led but world class capability as well.
Porsche is the only manufacturer who can slice the same piece of pie so many different ways and make them all feel different from one another.

I guess, but really, at some point it's all moot. I'd take the NA screamer EVERY FUCKING TIME.
