Faster than pretty much anything anyone is offering but with 100-200 hp less, if not more. Not far off the Performante despite much less hp and still impressive even compared to the Ring record holder in the 2RS.

I wouldn't necessarily call it "absolute shaming" being that the ACR is 3 years old and still a stick without rear wheels steering. Mind you its easily half the price and its 4 seconds off on a 7 minute course that its never been on. The ACR didn't have the resources and testing to be able to do its best like almost every Porsche does at the ring. It wasn't designed, tested and bred on the ring like the GT cars. The major factor were the tires and how the spares were transported (kumhos for fucks sake). With the weather, limited time slots, crashed car, many changes in drivers due to scheduling that the grassroots attempt could achieve, there wasn't a clean run and money ran out with crowdfunding. The ACR theoretically could be in the mid to low 50s.
The GT3rs is a kickass car not matter how you cut it but calling it shaming kind of shows what you know. I wouldn't base everything on ring time either.
