Of note, the 991.1 3RS did 7:20 so 24 seconds better from the 991.1 to 991.2 without a whole lot of material changes and only that 20 hp difference.
No one would have ever thought a 520 hp NA would do below 7:00 in the first place let alone a 6:56. Given that the GT3RS has 200 hp less hp than the AMG and is only 8 seconds off pace with the same 12.9 circuit I would wager a friendly bet that the 992 3RS will beat it. 
No one would have guessed the 718 GT4 with only 414 hp and a manual would do 7:28 either but it did. The 2RS with 691 hp os a great time as is the SVJ and AMG, but the 3RS for its lack of power is much more impressive than all of them. |
I'd put money on that bet. I'm not seeing it unless the 3RS is on full slicks. The Cup 2R's aren't going to be passed anytime soon and the rest of the package won't make up the deficit.
