And yes, that same Plaid, also beats the M5 CS. So there is absolutely no guarantee a M5 CS with 1000HP would somehow be 22 seconds faster on the Nurburgring.
A Plaid weighs 2,265 kg or 4,993 lbs. The Taycan is 2370 kg or 5224 lbs.

The Taycan has a bit more power and likely a more track-focused setup being a Porsche.

An M5 CS is track-focused and weighs 1,900 kg or 4,188 lbs.

The M5 CS is about 800 to 1000 lbs lighter. Yes, 800 to 1000 lighter.

It has roughly 600 hp. Give it one fucking thousand thirty four horsepower and we know exactly what will happen.

Why you are even arguing this is beyond me. It's just embarassing at this point.
