Hey! That's my 4 RS on the lift at Manthey @15:15!
I just went through the Euro Delivery experience. It was the trip of a lifetime in a "once in a generation" car. The 4 RS is a truly special creation.
After nearly 2000 mi of driving through Europe (Leipzig-Munich-Grossglockner-Modena-Monaco-Geneva-Strasbourg-Nurburgring) I arrived at the 'Ring for some post-break-in fun.

From your friendly long-time lurker, who's now ready to join the Rennlist fold.

Delivery and first 250kms drive today. Great car. Everything that's been written seems about right but only up to 5k rpm for first 500kms then gradually widen it out up to 1500kms.

Good looking thing!

@Warwick Morris I’ll be interested to hear how you feel about this vs your 4.2x 981.

Looks great Warwick. You taking it to Bathurst? I had mine at Phillip Island with 200kms on the OD lol

(Not going to Bathurst this year for the first time. Can't make it due to work commitments)

That doesn’t sound right.

I don’t believe any allocations are now tied to PTS. That is, PTS could be submitted to any build and needs to be accepted/locked.

From what I understand is all builds for MY23 are all stop ordered for PTS, which means if you don’t have PTS locked, it isn’t available.

The reason PTS may be getting kicked is because PTS isn’t available for your allocation, even if it once was.

Ya, i thought something sounded off when we discussed my new allocation and whether PTS is available or not.
It's a bummer, but I'm just happy to have a confirmed allocation at this point and can 'make' White work if necessary!

Yes. The only discrenable difference I found was the non-WP car seamed to be less loud in the cabin.

Oh, and when looking out of the rear view mirror on the non-WP car all you see is a painted wing. Whereas on the WP car, all you see is a carbon fiber wing.

How much of an audio difference? Matt Farrah said he noticed nothing between the two cars when tracking with a helmet during the press day.

I have been in both, I couldn't detect any difference in the slightest. Both wound up to 9k without helmet on.

Do you need ear plugs without helmet when you're on it ?
