I just want to remind everyone that this car did a 2:44.3 on PS4S
4 second difference just because of different tires...

I'm far from being an E-nthusiast but by god, this thing is sooooo quick. Seriously impressive machine. That it can beat an MR GT4 RS on this track is a miracle - depite the obvious power advantage.

and the taycan turbo gt which porsche fans like to say is so fast, i had some doofus on youtube telling me that its faster then a 911 gt3 rs on track just cuz of the laguna seca result 😂

It always baffles me how many people are completely unable to put lap times into perspective. Track condition (Laguna Seca!), ambient conditions, drivers, different tracks that suit different cars and many more variables are usually completely forgotten.

i had to school him and remind him the taycan was a manufacture effort with lars klern driving and had one seat whereas the 992 gt3 rs laptime was done on a normal sunday with plain pirelli p zero corsa tyres lol, if the 992 gt3 rs had the same treatment as the taycan who knows how much faster it will be
