Even the 911GT3RS get beat by more expensive cars. It is unfair to compare it to the Rimac Nevera or Mercedes AMG One (i.e., the current Nurburgring champ). By the same token, why would anyone feel the need to compare the M4 CSL with the 911 GT3RS, a car almost twice its price?

For the money, the M4 CSL is delivering awesome performance IMO. You are getting 911 GTS performance with the M4 CSL for the price of a comparably equipped Carrera 2S. That is not "on par" with the competition, this IS BMW beating the competition.

PS. The overall winner of this comparison is the Z06. Its performance is nearly that of the GT3RS, but for much less $$$.
Trying to understand the logic here. The slower car is better because it’s cheaper that is exactly what you are saying here. Can you explain how that matters in terms of track time ? GT3 RS is not exactly $300K car either.
