I remember a GT2 RS did a 10.6 on Carwow as well. The surface you launch on, conditions on the day and hookup all make a big difference

Tbf I wouldn’t say it’s deliberate and they change the runways they test on quite often, but ig it’s more fun drag racing with the presenters and so on which is why I still watch it a lot

@FastestLaps could I add the Manthey Racing version of this car as a separate car? It's got enough difference in lap times and I'm pretty sure you could get the package from factory.

Following laptimes could be added as modified by Manthey Racing:

It appears Porsche has been benchmarking Corvette more than Corvette has been benchmarking Porsche lately.
The 993 GT2 was a homologated special (borderline with GT1), so that one doesn't really count.
The 996 version was alright, but a bit less raw than its C5 equivalent (note: Z06 was a bit of an overlap with GT3/GT2 due to peak power and torque outputs between all three cars; it was actually much closer to a GT2 competitor than Ferrari 360CS ever was, but GT3 was much closer to BMW M3CSL than to Z06).
The 997 pre-RS version was just a reskinned 996, nothing special. Only marginally faster. Not as good as C6 Z06, let alone ZR1. Drove more like a Z51 with a Z06 engine swap. Even an E60 M5 managed to get just as quick of a lap time at the Laguna Seca as that generation GT2.
The first GT2 RS—introduced in the 997 facelift, was fundamentally even worse for what a track-focused supercar should be. The GT2s before it, admittedly, were intended to be more posh than the GT3 (and especially GT3 RS). However, the GT2 RS did not come with a Weissach or Manthey Racing package the way the Z06 and ZR1 came with their own Z07 and Centennial packages. It was really nothing more than a Turbo S with rear-wheel drive. It could hang with base ZR1s, though. But on a race track, never the Centennial version, much less a Viper ACR.
The second GT2 RS, however; yes, the 991 version, THAT'S when things started kicking! It was so good that Porsche chose to break its own Nring record with it. It was like a baby 918 Spyder that literally beat it. Even at higher speeds it has the 918 beat!
Looking at the near future, it looks as though the third GT2 RS (in the 992 generation) will generate AT LEAST 900 combined horsepower to the rear wheels, hybridized. 296 XX will have 900, Temerario already has 900, Revuelto has 1000, ZR1 has 1100—up to 1200 with the roofline-air intake option (underrated at 1064). Porsche tries to outpower Ferrari, so I'm betting even on 1000!

I think that the 992 GT2 RS, assuming it comes out in 2026, will have 771 horsepower, 816 Nm of torque, a width of 1,864 mm, a weight of 3,510 lbs, a drag coefficient of 0.38, a top speed of 220 mph, a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, and a quarter-mile time of 10.7 seconds.

So according to MotorTrend this car did a 1:21.08 on Laguna Seca, nice typo 😂

Possibly a 992 GT2 RS test at Nürburgring
wallenieswiftie 3y ago
Top speed of the new 992 GT2 RS: 316 km/h (197 mph) -- using AMG Black Series' 325 km/h (202 mph) and Corvette C8 Z06/Z06-7's 314/304 km/h (195/188 mph) as benchmarks. It won't be a competitor with the C8 ZR1 like the 991 GT2 RS was with the C7 ZR1. The 992 GT3 RS maxes out at 296 km/h (184 mph).
