There is a massive overall difference between GT3 and Turbo S and that is translated to the off-the-line performance.

On the other hand, Carrera S and Carrera 4S are almost two identical cars (so is the performance), and actually in some metrics the 4S is slightly inferior to S model, including track performance!

There is a 17% power difference stock on my GT3 vs Turbo S.

That's about the same as the base 992 Carrera vs the 4S.

And similarly, the RWD models can outpace their AWD counterparts at certain tracks. The high speed tracks will usually favor those with more power.
