I will put my gt2rs in Europe so I can have CS and radio delete.
Do you need shipping address? Cup center console, no carpets and a standing single wiper is my spec.

Driving around Yosemite national park in a 40ft RV. I should be able to reverse my RS without back up camera. 😂😂😂😱😱

Sorry to all P owners for ruining your weekend drives around San Fransisco. I was guilty of holding you guys up. 😂

Leipzig pickup or Zuffenhausen. Got it. And black with red crap on it.
The backup camera comes out with the center console delete ��

Enjoy the parks Griswald!
Did a similar trip a few times..

Default EVO May 2017

Evo interviews Andreas Preuninger "the 991.2 GT3 engine is a quantum leap from the 991 GT3 3.8 & also a big step up even from the 991 GT3 RS engine"

So it all about the engine guys, he goes on to say the air take features a twin flap system like the 4.0 997 GT3 RS, which greatly influences torque low down.

Higher Revs, more Torque, this is the car to have, or so will be the 991.2 GT3 RS, get your orders in now !!

I'm sure it's an amazing engine and I'm sure it's the best yet.

AP also said the engine in 991.1 3RS was a completely new engine. He says a lot of things that are qualitative and can be interpreted many different ways, helps sell cars and always provides a back-door escape hatch for the next qualitative claim that often contradict his prior comments. But he helps build an amazing product and markets it like no other. So more power to him.

^ It must be his accent because we are all suckers as soon as his lips start moving.

The .2GT3 is going to be a great car but nuts for and RS Owner to trade for a PDK .2 GT3. If anything - upgrade to the .2 RS in 2 years and in the interim see how the .2 GT3 engine plays out. I am sure it may slightly edge the .1RS on the track but a year later the RS will be back on top. Chasing your own tail get tiresome and expensive.

The race teams seem to be "raving" about the new Cup car engine. Assume that the 991.2 will have the same engine?

AP is Porsche's best salesman! How many times has he said this is the best ever?

I am surprised AP hasn't been made Head of Marketing at Porsche AG.

Keeping up with the latest and greatest every year will drive you nuts. You will NEVER own the greatest as PAG will see to that each year. It is a perennial effort to transfer your wealth to them. A constant mind ****.

The number of guys here that can extract 10/10ths from any contemporary GT3 variant I can count on one hand. For the rest they can't even fully tap what they have. I sure as hell can't. It's all bragging rights.

I don't chase the fastest 0-60 or what can rev 400 rpms higher or the next fastest at the Ring. I buy what I love. It has to stir my soul in looks, presence, performance, it's historical roots.

Love my RS. Not sure I will give it up for the 2RS. We will see.
