Ok guys … I know there were scattered talks about this topic, but when I searched I couldn’t conclude what owners of both cars think?

I own both but drove my RS for 5k KM and my LT 50KM! Just took delivery and finally arrived home after PPF etc … the reason I brought up this topic is … I was blown away with the car 😳, like really, she’s a different breed than the RS. The way she moves, shifts and feel is so different. I’m stunned because both cars, to my knowledge, are comparable, yet they are so different❗ Can’t wait to put more miles on my LT, I’ll definitely spend time briefing you gents when I have at least 2K on the car.

For now, I’m interested to hear what other members think, especially the ones owning both and had them for a while. Imagine tracking both and seeing the difference, woohoo so excited 😇

Its an insult to 765 Lt to compare it with a gt2rs.

gt2rs is competitive with 720s around a race track but not really unless it’s modified to be similar to a cup car

 

[tozzy234]

Gt2 isnt even in the same realm

 

[mrvex]

GT2 a sloth in comparison habibi. 765 is king of class atm

My buddy from Oman calls me habibi, funny to see it here as well.

I was reffing to the OP, i live in dubai.

Yeah, I figured you weren’t speaking to me, I just like the term is all.

 

[mrvex]

Yeah its a kind word

😆, lock the thread and make this a sticky! 🎤 drop.

991 2RS is a great car, just not god-tier like a 765LT. Did a mother's day drive with 765LT and LTS last weekend. Used to question why own both. Answer: best car I've driven, though spider is softer in every way. Not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[shack]

In fairness to 2RS (and I own both) its one hell of a car. So 765LT/S then 2RS then HUGE gap then ..... maybe STO.... Pista after STO IMO

 

[zegerman]

I owned the 991 gt2rs and drove the lt at Silverstone.
The gt2 is a pimped up golf. It revs too fast, there is hardly sound, hardly emotion, to me it only looks good. I have limited funds so i sold it and ordered the lts. The lt made me shiffer, its intimidating, i guess the lts will be even better, for the fearless“.

 

[mrvex]

I dont know if its THAT bad but yeh. I think its an amazing car and a heavy hitter but its nothing on a 765. (convo subject)

 

[Scrappy]

Perhaps I’m one of the few who actually likes the way the 2RS sounds. Reminds me of the original 935 with all the pops and hisses.

 

[Trevor90]

in a straight line and curves a 720 is still faster than a 2RS isn't it? 765 forget about it.

At this level of performance, it really comes down to driver skill rather than the limits of the car (which cannot be explored on public roads anyhow).

That's true of pretty much any car. The question being asked is how the cars compare with the same driver. It's also not just about the ultimate limits of the car, particularly for novice drivers, the way the car feels and performs before its ultimate limits are also important.

 

[Cadster]

For me, it comes down to how much I enjoy the car, much more than how well the can perform. Others will certainly differ in their opinions on what‘s paramount.

Agreed. Very often I’ve read comments about a particular driving quality which I’ve never myself noticed. Either I’m just numb or it gets buried by other feedbacks which dominate my own experience. The suspension damping in the 765 might very well be excellent but I don’t have the spare mental capacity to really appreciate it because of everything else that’s bombarding my senses when driving that car.

If you drive the car enough, and in a variety of venues, all its unique and stellar characteristics and strengths will be exposed. Drive it 500 kms per year and you might not.

Yes and no. The example I gave about suspension damping is one of those things that if it never enters my mind during ownership, then it’s probably good (or good enough).

This matters more to me in a race car when I’m trying to fine tune the handling for different circuits and conditions.
