Worth noting 992 GT3 and 991.2 GT3 RS times were both set on Cup 2 R, with the 992 probably getting an updated spec.

991.2 GT3 time was standard N1 spec.

Of course, a lot of the new GT3's 'Ring time improvement comes down to the optional Cup 2 R tires. But Kerns says simply swapping those tires onto the old GT3 wouldn't get you anywhere near the new car's 17-second-per-lap improvement. Even on the less-aggressive Cup 2s, Kern estimates the new GT3 should be "at least" seven or eight seconds quicker than the old GT3, though Porsche hasn't measured official lap times on the standard-equipment tires.

Word is track is faster with some resurfacing in the last couple of years.

With R spec and current track conditions F82 GTS would knock a chunk off, maybe sub-7:20.

So, M should be able to get in the neighborhood. Hope so. Like Porsche and AMG, they can start by signing on to the not effing around plan with Michelin.
