The fact that on track times, it is right up there with most LP-XXX L cars with 200+ hp or running with a 458 Italia that has almost 200 more hp shows me that it is capable well beyond what anyone has done with 400 hp and 3300 lbs. I will say it again, no other car within 50-60 hp has a chance running with the 991S. Not even a base Vette with less weight and a good amount more hp will touch it in any conceivable way. Thats as close as any 400-460 hp car gets to it.


I think that's a little unfair. A 991 Carrera S runs well north of $100k with proper options. A base vette is less than half that. A Z06 and ZR1 are priced in that territory and would slap down a 991 S in almost every performance measure.
