2:38.6 for the C8Z versus 2:42.5 for the Turbo S.

Agree, on the track, it's hard to beat the Z but the Turbo S is a beast on the 1/4 mile with it's insane launch. What kind of tires did the Turbo S have on the lightning lap? I've heard that it can beat the GT3 if both had similar tires on a larger track.

I have owned both cars since 1986, 15 Corvette's and 9 turbo, or turbo s's porsche's, for me since 2021 I have found it easier to buy 992 tts than C8's, then I got screwed ny my local dealer so I didn't get my matching 70th Annv to my wife's 70th Annv C8 HTC. If you want to pay over sticker you can get one pretty quickly, both great cars
