911 GT3 competition

The 996 gt3's top gear lap time was in the wet so i would estimate it to do 1.22.4 in the dry.

The Suzuka time its wrong !
Thats a 996 GT3 early time
True! Because BM's Suzuka superbattle happened in year 2000 and the 996 GT3 "late" model came out in 2003.

the 911 996 gt3 is a good car but how did it do the 1/4 so quick like in just 12 secs thats like as quick as the best new 911 997s or evan quiker imean its only got 375bhp iwould have expected 13.5 the 911 is a great car and it really impresses me imean she has world class performonce and for many many years not many sports car manufactures have been able to beat the 911
