At first sight these times are a bit disappointing , but .....

1 s faster on Hockenheim then 997 4.0 is pretty good and on that short track it is very difficult to improve times .

The N'Ring time would need to be redone . The speed limit does change the way one drives, even if they ' calculated'  4 s for that + I don't know exactly what the safe mode was doing to the car ... and why it was on ??

The test looks like it should of been canceled , but then why did they publish it ?  Needed something to put in their paper ? 

The 495 HP are more worrying . AP had hinted it was around 510 HP 

I am not worried. The RS is much more then then just a '' better time or not '' . Of course the GT3 is the better deal, we all know that , so is the Turbo vs the TurboS  , but one buys the RS also for the ' object ' it is , for the carbon front wings and hood, the magnesium roof , the look , etc....  And end price will always be determined once the car is sold again .
