ALMS driver Johannes van Overbeek compares GT2 RS and GT3 RS

In the next Issue of Excellence magazine you will find at Laguna Seca, American Le Mans Series driver Johannes van Overbeek testing both the GT2 RS and the GT3 RS's on-track abilities. Excellence came away with some lap times that objectively demonstrate what an owner gets after he or she pays $110,000 for Porsche to strap a turbocharger and an extra 170 horsepower to the back of a GT3 RS. For the full scoop head over to Excellence here :

Loved the vids and as crazy as it sounds, I think I'd prefer the 3 to the 2.

Johannes is just smooth as silk. Watching the videos with sound off is like watching a ballet. Good stuff and I see some places now to work on my line at LS.

Yes, good to see the cars worked out by a pro. By the vids, the 2RS is looking, what, 3 secs a lap faster?

While the 3RS indeed sounds great, the 2RS must be appreciated in person. It sounds awesome as well. AND a stock 2RS will NOT pass sound at LS. Ask me how I know So don't be deceived, a 2RS blowing past you at full-song sounds quite nice! (and NOT like a vacuum cleaner like a .1 911 Turbo does)
