yeah but the the previous 911 996 gt3 rs only wieghs 2992lbs and has 376BHP.the current 911 997 gt3 rs wieghs 3025lbs and has 409BHP. those magazines that tested both gt3's dont know the nurburgring any where near as well as porsche doess if porsche tested their last generation 911 996 gt3 rs they could probably get it in the late 7.30s smothing like 7.39. and if porsche tested their current generation 911 997 gt3 rs it could probably get a time in the mid 7.30s like 7.34.

yeah i agree the 911 997 gt3 rs can get well below 7.40. sportauto magazine only recorded 7.48 around the nurburgring.they dosnt know the nurburgring as well as motor magazine who got 7.42 around the nurburgring in the previous 996 911 gt3 rs.

well you 2 people that dont belive the porsche 911 996 gt3 rs did 7.43 around the nurburgring. porsche dos know the nurburgring better than anyoneelse because before the zonda f broke the production car lap record the porsche carrera gt held the production car lap record of 7.28 and the koenigssegg ccr isnt far of with a lap time of 7.34. anywaymy point is we are talking about a porsche 911 here i cant belive you would doubt a 911s performance.the 7.43 lap the 911 996 gt3 rs did was a test that motor magazine did not a factory claim and anyway i think the current 911 997 gt3 rs could get below 7.40 i cant belive sport auto only recorded 7.48.
