Would a 996/7 GT3 live with the 991 GT3 on track?

[Phooey]

It's clear the 991 is quicker at the traffic lights due to PDK and Launch Control, but on the track is there really anything in it?? Does the old Mezger GT3's keep on the bumper of the tech-laden 991GT3? I can't imagine - due to gearing, power-to-weight etc, that once moving the 996/7 would be far behind, if any?

Isn't the power-to-weighty greater for the 991 GT3?

yes vs the 996.1 but the gap narrows up to the last mezger - 7.2 RS


ring times not telling enough.

So, basically what i thought - me Mam would be quicker in the 991, but a good experienced driver - not much between the 2?

I think that shows that a 991 GTS could well be all the car you ever need and in a few years of depreciation could be the bargain car of the range.

Good car is the 991GTS. That one had -20mm suspension. Slightly down on power-to-weight, and no RWS, but nevertheless a very capable middle of the range 911.
