Why don’t you share your personal best lap times in your 2RS and I’ll share my best 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile in my Mclaren. That way we can see both real world cars not specially track prepped ringers. As I had stated, I don’t road race, but I do drag race and roll race and I have my slips.
Care for drag race and roll race? in that matter, 720S and turbo S are neck to neck, BUT, turbo S has less power and 150KG extra weight... do the math to know which is faster than.

Feels more composed than the 720s, less turbo lag too, but definitely a bit slower. Absolutely amazing though,

Got it. If I remember that was a car done locally on pump and not built. Ram was there (he has a badass RS3 as well on IROZ set up) and he ran 184 several times. His is built. 177 is flying though!
On the lap times thing guys. That is what I mean. Different deal. The 2RS will destroy a TTS on the track but, with all the aero and 2WD the TTS will take it in the 1/4 mile or less. The Mac is faster at everything than the TTS bone stock I am pretty sure. That said I am a Porsche guy so all things considered I vote pcar modded haha. Same way another car modded well like an RS3 can eat both of them in a straight line. Cool to experience them all though!

It's about 7-10mph different from old nfz to new. My gtr went nearly 210 at the old and when I ran a true half it was 201.
The car was the yellow goodspeed car. On race gas..

Oh the Yellow Godspeed car...Not built, not full By Design Stage 4 and not on an aggressive file for 1/2 mile stuff like most we run at 175-184 in the true 1/2 with. I was wondering because I know most all of my guys especially if I did them here. I would know if one of my guys got mopped up lol. But good job.
Didn't mark run 180 in CA? I went 3mph less, with a passenger, turned down 75whp, on 245 oem tires lol
Whats the current vtg half record?

You came back mentioning rams 991 that never ran in AZ when it was a true half(it was the old nfz format when he ran) So who's talking misinformation?
Funny Mark only got the trophy on the Sunday, because ram didn't run his rs3 that day lol

I shouldn’t have walked into this one lol. My apologies everybody for going off topic. Ram is my friend, he has both cars and lives both. As is Hank so it’s not at all about your Audi I would explain the same thing for him or anyone else. You seem a little wound up about your car. Enjoy it man good for you.
Maybe the new owner will line up with one of your stage 4 cars soon
Ps... You completely missed my point in the first place. The point was just because you can mod a lesser car to be fast, doesn't make it better.

Some comments from reading the thread.
When I ran the NFZ 1/2 last year it was the rolling 1/2 so traps were higher. I did 185.5 in the 911 on a moderate file and I remember the yellow 911 was at least 10mph slower. No idea what mods he had. I didn’t quite turn it up since it blew a coolant line and ended the day.
My RS3 runs were at SS and it was a true 1/2 and it did 186. Weather wasn’t pleasant at 100F. I never ran the RS3 at NFZ. Spec C ran his car full weight with passenger at NFZ standing 1/2 and ran really fast MPH’s considering the setup and conditions. His car was stupid quick for the setup. Total bang for the buck the RS3 is cheaper for a 1/2 or 1/4 mile toy. The 911 is a different car altogether although we are using it for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended for.
I honestly like both cars but they are different. Both are killer 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile cars but as I said earlier neither were meant for that purpose! The 911 runs circles around the RS3 in any circuit or Auto-X. I had a 720s for a week once and for a factory car I would say it runs circles around the 911 (and obviously the RS3)
For a factory rating I would put the 720s first, then 911 and then RS3. For the Mexico racer I would put the RS3, 720s and then the 911. For an all around best of both worlds practical car, I would put the 911, RS3 and then the 720S. Moral of the story for you highway hooligans, watch out for the modded RS3’s 😆 I haven’t lost a race yet.... it’s a true daily driver that smokes most anything that people actually drive expect for my 911 😉
Anyways just my opinion..... hopefully I can pull the trigger on a 720s as well and then can pick my poison.

This right here shows you're not living in reality. The 720s makes a stock turbo s look slow in a drag race(1/4 or 1/2). They're literally half a second or more slower stock vs stock in the 1/4. Do you know what a half a sec slower looks like visually? It's a busses lol
.
.
This half a second in the real world will show nothing.. this half a second of the 720 comes at 120 MPH and can be noticed at the very end of the 1/4 at 148 MPH. A car that need to go 148 MPH to show it's advantage on the public road is worth no advantage on the public road.. that's why i mentioned they would be about head to head in the "real world". Of course, don't forget it's 150 KG heavier and much less power of the turbo S, that's an incredible achievement for Porsche.
If you want to go 148MPH on the public road, in a flame spiting, crazy looking, 700HP+, lightweight, 350K super car to (maybe) be faster in half a second than a "fat ***" heavy, 20% less powerful, half the price ordinary looking Porsche, be my guest and good luck, you deserve this "advantage".
AND, if you want to talk times outside of the real world.. the 720 is 20+ second slower than a 2RS on the ring and few second slower than a turbo S. Those are numbers can be easier notice on the public road too. That's just an embarrassment for such a lightweight, powerful and expensive car, absolutely ridiculous time.

Opposite is true.. you got the discussion wrong.. we are talking "real world" vs numbers achieved by professional/official release by the manufacture.

I've seen these race in person many times...
Not to mention you seem to neglect the fact "the real world" is quarter mile and half mile events....It's not just the street. Everything outside of your fantasy magazine racing is the real world to most of us. That's where we live..Ie not "ringer" cars brought in and prepped by a factory race team, dialed to the nth degree to accomplish a time your road car as it sits isn't even capable of, pro driver or not.
Can't wait to see how your car does come October at SS!
I need to figure out what's next for me...

Go watch the videos of 720s vs Gt2rs with drivers that aren't retarded/asleep at the wheel lol
