Porsche GT3 RS: Superlative
It's always interesting to read articles that in one way or another refer to the Porsche GT3 RS - in specialist publications with articles about "driver's cars" and cars that drive really well (as opposed to "super - hyper - superlative adjective of the m...
I like a sports car, where you don't need a service truck driving behind you :-)
...great post by the way Best Hans
Superb article, and great car, Thomas. I would happily own a normal 911,
But after your article, hmmmm... A GT 3 RS test would make me doubt... Well, in theory, because in the real life, the 911 is more the car to choose. Best, Nicolas
You know, it's funny...
Since having significant seat time in the GT3RS (the WanderingPurist has been kind enough to let me put in almost 6000 miles behind the wheel) I've been wondering what the non-RS GT3 is like, so I've sought out the 997.2 GT3 and 996 GT3 to try. Given the ...
The WanderingPurist did manage...
to find a 3.8 After trying both, he didn't think the 4.0 was worth the market premium (meaning, the 4.0 market was adding a HUGE "collectibility" premium, far in excess of any performance or "feel" difference.) As you know, the WanderingPurist doesn't bel...
One of the coolest cars on this planet.
Which actually reminds me of the fact that a testdrive was promised to me in a 3.8 last year .. as a Panigale testride ... . But since it has been raining and freezing eleven days out of ten the last two years things are quite unlikely to happen soon ... ...
I know ...
.. but i fear driving it will not be allowed. But a co-ride i wouldn't mind, time to call my friend :-) Filip
She is a keeper....
You will love your Porsche for many years to come! There is really nothing on the market that comes close to the Porsche driving experience. If only the Michelin Cup tires lasted a little bit longer and costed a little bit cheaper....
I agree, unotaz...
and so does the WanderingPurist. :-) "There is really nothing on the market that comes close to the Porsche driving experience. If only the Michelin Cup tires lasted a little bit longer and costed a little bit cheaper...." You know, the funny thing is, th...
Just superb!
I'm into that, big time. I actually just went for a test drive in a 2012 Carrera S yesterday. Blew my mind! My brother might be picking one up later this year. Thanks for posting, TM.
Keep us posted, Davo, I hope he pulls the trigger. I was one of the people who voted the
basic launch model 991 Car of the Year... Thanks for reading. TM
Great Review...
and interesting to hear that nothing comes close to it in the Porsche Family. Do the stickers come off? Thats my only issue with it as far as aesthetics are concerned. S
yes, the stickers come off...
though one does get used to them. I too was suprised how much difference the GT3 RS "drove" compared to even the same model and year GT3. Even (gasp) the Gallardo Performante felt soft on the track...(more pics and videos coming soon)
Your Post...
has put the GT3 RS on my radar, I've been reading up on it and I've started obsessing over it a bit, there is one available in orange with black wheels, a very classic 70s combination... I've been in this situation too many times before to know that it wo...
You must try it if you get a chance and like three pedal manuals.
It ain't for everyone, but if you like a nearly spiritual connection between driver and car, this one is hard to beat... TM
I saw one a couple weeks ago
and I am sure the guy was just running errands around town. Even if I were given this lawn full to choose from, I would certainly take the GT3 Cazalea ...
Each time I open a post from you on Automotive, I dream of a picture
you posted of a " flock of Lotus "... Best, Mike. Nicolas
