For the performance it deliver its cheep.
Put it against a 991 GT3 that is same weight and GTS will outlap the 991 GT3.

I disagree with your logic. GTS may be heavier but it's also making a lot more torque (which is a huge advantage) and in reality I'd venture to say it's very underrated giving it a significant hp advantage too (dyno suggests 550 hp).
Both cars with equal power to weight, I'd put my money on the GT3. .4 seconds on hockenheim may not sound like a lot of time, but on a lap that short, it's significant. Just like a 1 second gap on a 2-3 min circuit would be a big difference.
Overall I'd say the GT3 and the RS even more so are the more special fees.
Just food for thought, a regular 911 turbo, which is heavier than the GTS and only 520 hp does Hockenheim in 1:08.7.
