The first GT2RS was produced in 2010. The 2nd in 2017. How long will we have to wait before the next one?
A lot of the car's performance can be attributed to the tires. The Pista on the same tires (Cup 2 R's) has dusted the GT2RS on quite a few tracks. So yeah, there is competition, and the 765 LT will add to it. It will demolish it even further (as if the 720 S wasn't enough) in a straight line and will compete directly with the GT2RS as this is the track version of the 720S. Let's wait and see what times the 765 LT is capable of. I'm sure it won't disappoint.

I wasnt crapping on the 765 just responding to your point on the P cars. Im sure it could be faster than the 991 GT cars, but the 992 GTs will again set the bench.
The GT2RS (nonMR) and GT3RS on the list are both stock offerings which in itself is a feat. Im sure Ferrari could compete but it does make you wonder why they dont benchmark at the Ring since its the easiest objective way to measure performance. That doesnt speak to the unique points and designs of cars in this realm, some will like Mcs, some will like Lambos, some will like Ferrari, and some will like P-cars. But the performance is the measure that is not objective and when you said the 765 was light years ahead of the last generation GT cars, and then see the performance stats posted, doesnt seem to match reality. Oh and the maclarens cant hold value compares to a GT car if that matters.
It will be fun to see the next battle when the 992s can be compared to this offering.
