May I go for a test ride in the passenger seat of someone's 3.8 GT3 RS near me? I'm considering buying one; did test drive yesterday, but there were a few noises that I wasn't sure if they were normal or not. In return, I offer a beverage, meal, or a ride in one of my cars. Thanks.

Sherman,

It doesn't look like you have many takers in So Fla, I'll give you a ride if you get to the Houston area.

Have you headed over to AutoQuest in Ft. Myers? They're awesome guys and usually have 1 or 2 of them around, hell they'll probably sell you one.

Orbit Racing right near you takes care of a few RSs. Roger Hawley is the proprietor and a great guy to know. rodger@orbitracing.com
Cheers.

Thanks to all who replied, very hospitable of you. The most convenient is probably lkn4adl in Boca, so I'll contact him shortly to find a time that works for both of us. I may check in with Orbit Racing later too as possible source for service. Thanks again.

what is to consider?

Go and get one. There is no possible way to not like it.

Just as a general guideline for the RS cars: the weird noises are almost certainly normal.

Rattles, shaking, lumpy idle, clicking, all part of the charm.

Let's not forget the occasional puff of blue smoke. A friend's RS was in the showroom when he picked it up. After starting the car there wasn't a live insect in the place.

Funny stuff guys! I like what I've read, heard, seen and felt behind the wheel. I also like noises and the GT3 RS I test drove was actually more civilized than I expected; I think my wife can handle driving/riding in one whereas she refuses to even ride in one of my cars. Her daily driver is a BMW 1M, but she appreciates that Porsches handle and stop better, never mind the extra power.

lkn4adl, I've sent you PM. Let's talk when you have time. Thx.
