The simplest 911 GTS variant is the RWD 6MT version with the same engine power as the M3/M4 ZCP but comes in at a lighter weight at 1450kg DIN (and rear weight bias). It has a 305 at the rear and a 245 at the front.

The M4 ZCP (1550kg+ DIN) has a 285 at the back and a 265 at the front... the M4CS with more performance also has the same staggered setup

It is frustrating whenever you are at a stop start drag race you are always let down by a lack of traction with rear tyres smoking up instead of going forward. More tyres also provides more stability at a higher speed.
They can fit wider tires on the 9 and 10 inch wheels. The M3/4 (regular and Competition) uses the same width wheels as the M2.
The Competition F80's wear 265/285 to handle 444hp, so more rubber than the base M2 should be easy to do.
