Porsche 911 GT3 (992) specs

Wow! They are really specific predictions! I am impressed

Not entirely accurate though :P

I speak the truth lol

Excuse me. Comparing 992 GT3 to dead fish is almost as outrageous as questioning the fact that GR Yaris is the fastest car in the universe.

You haven't seen REALLY sad cars

What do u mean?

The Porsche GT3 is like Family Guy on a hierarchy/level of mild to spicy supercars (the GT3 RS is more like South Park). The Carrera level is like The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers; the Turbo S and GT2 RS are like Archer and Rick & Morty.

That doesn’t mean Shit, it’s not all about straight line speed.

it's not supposed to. The GT3 racecars have the same power as before. These cars are all about being track workhorses. Besides, would you rather have a screaming 9000rpm 510hp engine, or a 700hp engine that just puts out farts every once in a while?

"or a 700hp engine that just puts out farts every once in a while"

Looks like GT3 or GTE race car.

Yes although not quite as fast. The Huracan STO will destroy it on track :)

Should be interesting. Both are great cars in their own way tho, despite what I said before.

Both track oriented but STO costs 250k€ vs. GT3 170k€, STO 640HP vs. GT3 510HP, STO 1340kg vs GT3 1420kg...
...Lambo must by faster on most circuits* for its money and power specs.

*most, not all, even 991.2 RS3 vs Performante its 6 vs 8 wins for Huracan so its safe to 992 GT3 can by faster som some tracks than STO...

And the STO is a V10 displacing over 5 liters vs the GT3 which does it with just a 4 liter 6-cyl boxer. Bet that STO is one hard ride. Real cop-magnet too.

The Huracan STO reportedly did a 1-minute 48.86-second lap at Daytona which was 2.94 seconds quicker than the Performante and 2.46 seconds slower than the GT3 Evo racer. That gives you some indication of how fast it is so the 2022 Porsche GT3 or their upcoming RS will struggle to keep up with it regardless of track type.

Why are here fans that hate Lamborghini and love Porsche? Two VW car companies

Regardless of ownership by VAG Lamborghini and Porsche are totally different cars and both are unmistakable. As far as trolls are concerned well they are basically imbeciles...

Life is easier when you try not to spend time and energy on silly fanboyish comments about two cars you probably don't own. Even if you do, sell it and call a psychologist

Then 992 GT2 RS comes in and Dethrones lamborghini, nothing special to see here

I guarantee you, the STO weighs more than the GT3.
1340kg is dry weight. literally you couldn't start the car in that form. The car weighs closer to 1500kg curb weight

To be honest, the Daytona track, half of it is a giant long straight.

a 1:47 lap in a GT3 race car which topped out just under 180mph. If the STO can hit 195mph on the straight, it would make up quite a lot of time. Nonetheless, 1:48.86 sounds too good to be true. On street tires?

The 1:48.86 time by the STO was on Bridgestone's latest semi-slick, RE-71RS which i believe grip wise slots in between the Cup2R and TrofeoR. The other factor is that it was driven by a Lamborghini factory driver which as you know makes a big difference to the lap time.

why would having a lambo factory driver make a difference if the lambo evo gt3 car was also driven by a factory driver...

I mean, if the road car on road tires is only 2.4s slower than the race car over a 108sec lap, then in theory, bolt some racing slicks on the road car and it'll be just as fast already?

meanwhile a gt2rs can't even come close to a 460hp Porsche cup car at Road Atlanta, and a Senna gets destroyed by a mclaren gt3 car around silverstone.

I'll believe it when I see it actually do those times.

I think that all 3 cars(Performante,STO,GT3 Evo) were driven by factory drivers with TrofeoR, RE-71RS and racing slicks for the respective cars. The STO and Performante would have similar acceleration whereas the GT3 will obviously be slower on the long curved straights but catch up under braking and cornering. The STO will corner and brake better than the Performante hence the lap time difference.

Anyway let's see what happens when the STO is made available to all the journo drivers.

It's for Nordschleife Full, so it's not bad

Yeah but they arent saying that it is for the 20.8 km version. Why do they not advertise with the 6:55.34, that would make it sound way more impressive.

Not bad? It's faster than any GT3 --RS-- ever made. That's wicked.

No one uses the 20.6km layout anymore, that's why

Actually both the 20.6/20.8km lap times will be published to avoid confusion given that Nurb management laid down the law that 20.8km is the new standard that is recognised for record attempts.
