The 991.2 is going to be a significantly faster car from everything I've heard from Porsche insiders, and that's saying a lot considering the performance the 991 puts up now, and every manufacture has been scratching their heads since the inception of the 991 and it will only continue.
I dont for a second believe the GT350 will be putting down numbers anywhere near a GT3. My guess is the GT350 was dialed in on Trofeo R's or something giving it a distinct advantage and not an apples to apples comparison. We will see when some independany tests come out but a 3700 lbs car with 520 Mustang hp is going to have a hard time running even with a 991S.

OK... we'll see. Don't get me wrong... I really LOVE the 991 and am very close to buying one myself but don't be too blinded by fanboyism. It would not surprise me at all if the 350R beats the 991S and is close to a GT3. It is as close to a race car as Ford currently builds. Put another way... the Z51 C7 and the 991S run neck and neck on most tracks. I cannot imagine the GT350R doesn't beat the Z51.
The GT3, btw, is on r compounds too if I'm not mistaken. I thought it came with Sport Cup 2's... similar to the Trofeo.
