Default RS & Turbo S identical on track BUT............

New EVO video shows basically no difference from two very different cars on the track....

At original prices , a performance bargain I would say....


Until I saw THIS...........

Even with a traditional manual shift, Sport Auto who do my favourite tests concluded that the Vette is almost as fast as the RS. A serious track car at a much lower price.

I saw that on the 991 Turbo forum. The Turbo S didn't even have the same tires as the GT3RS.

Imagine what the new 991.2 Turbo S with the same tires as the GT3RS will be able to do.

That Grant sport is great bang for the buck.

Proper tires are good for 1-2 seconds per lap, track dependant.

The Grand sport is a great value, but I'd be hard pressed to buy that over the Mustang 350R. Venu let me drive his 350, it was very impressive. Only drawback was the clutch pedal, it felt like the Honda clutch.

The Mustang 350R wont be easy to get though. Love the new Mustang look as well. If the wallet could, I'd have one of each.

I'm sure supply will loosen in 2017.

Fortunately there are a lot of great cars to choose from, and some happened to be domestic.
