So is the 997 slower or faster than the 996GT3RS?

If you take into consideration the new tires, the 997GT3 should be much more than 1.5 seconds faster than the 996GT3 on street tires on the Hockenheimring...

Right Grant. So you are concluding that Porsche's own number are bogus on the 997 GT3?
I don't know. What were Porsche's number on those cars?

7.45 around the Ring is the official time although W. Röhrl says his best time was 7.42.

Well, that could be true. Horst Van Saurma is not as quick as Walther...

That's interesting. The 0-200kph is diappointing at 13.9. Porsche's claim is 13.5 sec.
Maybe it depends on the temperature and driver.
