A properly setup GT2 can run rings around a GT3.
Whether it will is totally driver dependent.
I was at Oulton in March this year, and there was a properly setup (ie, geo had been done) GT2. Nothing could touch it. Through the corners, it was dead even (credit to the GT2 driver), but as soon as there was a straight, the GT3s were mobile chicanes.
The driver was clearly in control of his GT2 at the limit... something that can't be said for all GT2 owners.
The 996GT2 was quicker than the 993GT2 that was there, but it was very close.
Given the same driver in both a GT3 and GT2, however, and the GT3 will be much easier to drive and probably enable the driver to lap more consistently than in the GT2. The GT2 takes a lot more effort to pilot at the same pace as a GT3 simply because of the physical dynamics.
Migration info. Legacy thread was 95397
