WOW, VERY Optimistic statement...
Don't get me wrong, I like the SRT6. But it I am also realistic. With a serious driver, the Porsche drives in a completely different class. When it was released (MK.1 with 360PS), it was the first production car which did the Nürburgring Nordschleife in under 8 Minutes. This racetrack (one Lap is around 20KM) is one of the most difficult and most feared racetrack in the whole world ( Called "The green Hell" ). German manufactorers like Porsche, BMW and Mercedes-AMG test their suspensions on this track.There are fast parts and also handling parts in it. It is not far from where I come from. I have seen Porsche and AMG testing there. To give you a comparison : The SLK32 AMG (stock) did a 8.26 min and the Porsche GT3 (Mk.3. 415PS) did it in 7:48 min ( with H.Saurma, a good german racing driver) !!! These are WORLDS between those cars. Even the first GT3 drives faster than 300 KM/H. The latest Version MK3. 435 PS is 312 KM/H (194 MPH !!) fast.
I don't know how the guys in the little race drove their GT3?? But if you use all REVs and good shifting points etc.in the Porsche it will be very close with a properly tuned SRT6 even with the old GT3 360PS. At higher speeds and on a race track with good drivers, the Porsche is faster. The New GT3 MK.3 is faster on every occasion.
Just my 2 Cents...
