That’s crazy. Is the gt3rs faster then the gt2rs at Laguna Seca? The ACR is only .35 sec behind the gt2rs. Maybe it falls in between the two. Shit glad I got rid of that slow pos.

P.s. how do you to internet experts like your gt3rs’s? Do you pass lots of cars at the ring?

I'm sorry Craftypaul or shall I call you Crafty? Forgive me as it seems something has been lost in translation and I seem to have gotten under your skin. I am no millenial but I know that text characterization is the norm on social media. I assumed that you knew what ; ) meant. Let me explain. It is what is known today as emoticons and the winky face typically is used to express humor or sarcasm. So, back to my first reply where i first used said emoticon. You mentioned the R cant hang with the "big boys" so I rebutted with the GT2 RS and the winky face. It was obviously sarcasm as there are always "bigger boys" to contend with. Then you incorrectly quoted the reference you shared so I went in for the kill and a winky face. Denoting yet again, SARCASM. Now, to answer your last two questions starting with the former. The 2018 GT2 RS was the fastest production car to lap the Nordschleife in 6:47.3 compared to the the ACR-E's of 7:01.3. I would say a margin of more than 14 seconds is a "long way to go." So yes, the GT2 RS is faster than the GT3. I am not sure if the GT2 RS has set a recorded lap time on seca but I would make an educated guess that it would destroy the GT3. I love the GT3 RS but like the GT2 RS it is unobtanium so I will try and make do with a GT3 when I decide to upgrade. Lastly, I have never driven a 911 on the Nordschleife but I have passed many on the ring with a much lesser car. I will have to make due with my little boy R and so will you ; )

The ACR-E is faster on track than the GT3RS (but not the GT2RS you have pictured).
Correction made as I meant the GT2.

What I was trying to exspress was high downforce cars are in a different league. When a car gets more stable the faster you go it Instills confidence. May look ridiculous but try and keep up with them in the turns

Ps I will replace my R with a gt3 (manuals for life).
It’s not how fast you go, but how you go fast!

550 hp is child’s play. You got 800-900 hp coyotes lurking around cars and coffee waiting to show a crowd what serious power looks like. Or feels like.:devil:

I know I'm getting "off track" here, but I wish Ford offered the GT350R with an option for a supercharger and just factored in the price. For those of us that don't care about track days.
The GT350R is probably one of the hottest looking cars on the road today, in my honest opinion. (Besides the Hellcat Charger and Z07 cars, again honest opinion.) I would order one in Lightning Blue with supercharger and call it a day.
I hope the new GT500 looks as killer as the GT350R cars.

If you don't care about track days, there's absolutely no reason whatsoever for you to have a GT350R. Get a roushcharged GT and a GT350 front bumper swap, you'll have everything but that fancy name
