Oh... and by the way... in case you may have missed it, not only did it beat the previous best lap by 5 seconds (Lamborghini Huracan Performante - 6:52.7) the Porsche ran 6 LAPS under the 6:50 mark with 2 different cars and 2 different drivers.

We're particularly proud of the fact that this was achieved with two different vehicles and two different drivers, as this underlines the GT2 RS's ability to reproduce this record result over and over again," says Porsche's GT Director Andreas Preuninger.

Most modern Porsches, including the past two generations of GT3's, and Carrera S, and Turbo S are EXTREMELY EASY to drive fast.

While I enjoy driving them, I'd still always pick a Corvette over a Porsche. Honestly, I'm holding out to see the next Supra.

GT3 is a pure racer's dream. Turbo S is not as pure, but fast as hell. Basic Carrera S is still incredible, despite the low power. GT2 RS should be all of the above mushed together and then squared.

Porsche price premium just doesn't make me want to jump from Corvette to Porsche. Also, I'm kinda bored with the fact that the car has looked the same for the last 50 years.

Yup, they've been a glorified a Beetle for the last several decades.

One of our new neighbors has a 911. Don't know which generation.

Not necessarily....Air Cooled older Porsches have made collector status and prices have skyrocketed.
