You are right - running circles was a figure of speech.
However, all things being equal (similar HP, torque, suspension prep, tires, driver), a 3500 lbs car (GTS) will not keep up with a 3100 lbs car (GT3) for long.

I do love the work BMW had put into the GTS package.
Unfortunately, the price point and product spec vaults it into an entirely another category of track warrior cars.
That extra weight will require WAY more of a HP compensation than what the water tank provides. How long before BMW starts boring out that 3.0L to 3.2+L
