The main reason why the C2S is as quick as the current GT3, especially in a straight line, is because of the PDK transmission. The PDK shifting saves precious time in acceleration compared to the GT3's manual shifting. The new GT3 will only be significantly faster if it has PDK also. Otherwise it will only be marginally faster.
