Wow ! that has to be one of the most comprehensive tests ever. I have just scrolled down through it thinking that it must be the Fezza 458 speciale that takes the crown. No it was the GT3. Fantastic news for everyone that owns one and those that are soon to. Ours is leaving the factory tomorrow, simply can't wait now. bouncebounce

Not bad for a car that was launched 1.5 years ago and can no longer be ordered. The RS will most probably set a new benchmark next year. Well done Porsche smile

I have to say that whilst both the Speciale and 991 GT3 are very good cars, I prefer both their "predecessors" (Scuderia and 7.2RS).

Am I right in assuming you have both the 991 GT3 and the 997.2 RS and therefore have firsthand experience of both?

Yes, but to be fair I've not driven the 991 that much. Newer tech is impressive, but for me it definitely takes away something from the driving experience. I'd rather go slower, but enjoy doing it more.
