I don't know about that, I've known a number of CS owners over the years that have never had it on the track. They tick that option for the theatre.

Same can be said of the GT3RS as it’s really no closer to being a race car either. But then a race car and a track car are two very different beasts.

Agree RS makes an impressive track car. it’s very rare to see even dedicated track cars going under 1:40 at PI, let alone a showroom spec road reg car. Pretty impressive. If you want to go racing then of course this is not even on the shopping list. GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said it’s a race car but ideal for the odd track day. A 991.2 GT3 RS would be top of the time charts (by some margin) at most track days I go to. What would you do with it otherwise? A Carrera will get you to the coffee shop just as quickly and for a lot less coin. hugh, Redracn and edgy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 9September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 9September, 2020 GT3 & GT3RS = Track Day weapon GT3 Cup = Race Car GT3-R = The big dick swingers league RSR = Diesel gate was probably good to you, you fly private aviation, let’s go to this Soirée called Le Mans I hear there’s other motoring enthusiasts there?

A real race car is designed, engineered and constructed from the ground up with the single no compromise focus on winning races. the RSR and R are close to this with wishbone front suspension etc but the CUP is still way too compromised by its road car origins eg strut front suspension so is really just a very advanced track car. Just because you can race it dose not mean it is a race car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you can race it dose not mean it is a race car. Built with almost no compromise. No compromise would mean nothing would ever be built because there's always a compromise made (personally I'd go further to say there are plenty of them made each and every time .... materials, time, funds, purpose and even the jockey's dimensions, weight, age, experience etc etc). And certainly, if you race a car then it means it's a race car even if it's not made for the very specific purpose of racing. There are plenty of off the production line races all around the world for all of time so far for many different things that can be raced or competed with.

DJM Posted 9September, 2020 Report Share Posted 9September, 2020 🥱 does anyone really care about the nuances between track car, race car and “real” race car? Some blokes enjoy racing old Hyundai Excels. Who cares, back to the market watch eh? edgy, dominicxu1 and tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
