It is incredibly nimble with almost perfect steering and having such a large section with tire in the rear (305), it just grips at level that can't be matched other than by a super car. Depending how it is spec'd, I'd put it up against a 991.1 GT3.

Although it only has 370hp, it's quicker than a 991.1 GTS and Car and Driver managed a 11.9 1/4 mile at 118mph in the base 991.2 Carrera with PDK. That is no slouch.

This car will used at the track and around town, a poor man's GT3 if you will. However, at $120k for this particular build, one could have a 991.1 GT3 therefore there is a compelling argument against the T. However, it's much more understated which is compelling to many. If anyone gets the opportunity I encourage you drive one.
have you driven a lot of the cars you've mentioned? (991.1 GT3, 991.2 C2, 991.1 GTS).

I'm just curious how you're saying the T is "quicker" than all those cars? Is it your butt dyno? Is it based on some magazine testing? What numbers are you using to indicate quickness?
