This is interesting comments regarding comfort.
I just leant my buddy my 4RS for the day. I took my GT3 and we drove 3 hours on roads to and from the track and did a full track day.
At dinner all he could talk about is how comfortable the RS is and “all the creature comforts” in comparison to his older Lamborgini that he drives regularly. Specifically the seats are so much better in the porsche(buckets).
He doesn’t read forums, doesn’t know porsche much. Thought the 4RS is a buttercup. All perspectives I guess.

the loud factor is more real in europe than here due to the delta in average highway speeds relative to the gearing.
like i said, compared to my 997, its tame. compared to my G wagen, its abusive.
it's all relative.

honestly fine. i think the "loud" narrative is massively overblown. it's crazy loud at WOT. even set off a warning on the apple watch for extended exposure to high db (over 90) but in normal driving its fine. much quieter at idle and normal speeds than my 997 GT3 with sharkwerks. the issue is the gearing is so short that its more or less underivable on the highway at any speed above 75 mph. really 70 mph. but at 70 MPH on the highway you can easily have a normal conversation. the problem is at 115 MPH you're at 5,000 RPM in 7th. but at normal speeds its totally fine.
Also agree 7th is too short. Makes highway cruising impractical and unpleasant. Imo 1st is also a tad too short.

Agree 100% the "too loud" narrative is overblown. Seems to come mostly from people who don't own the car. Imo sound level is fine up to 5000. Who does extended WOT above 5000 except at the track anyways? And even at the track, for how long? Plus, with helmet, I just don't see the problem.
Also agree 7th is too short. Makes highway cruising impractical and unpleasant. Imo 1st is also a tad too short.

I'd love to see some review of the E46 CSL and the 4RS. Both have very very famous intake noises. Both are 2 Pedals with "lesser" versions offering Manual experiences...

I have a 6MT GTS 4.0, and now a 4RS. The GTS is arguably the most "flowing" car I have ever owned. Ok, the suspension is too soft. Other than that, love that car. Still trying to sort out how I feel about the 4RS. Love the stout suspension. The grainy metallic induction sound is interesting but prefer a proper tight, high-pitched exhaust wail over it. PDK is great at speed but distinctly "unflowing" in street driving.

4RS owners,
success with launch control? Any particular buttons need to be pressed/depressed? Launch control in non-GT pdk, the sport button has to be pressed. For us, this does not exist. Will it still work if TC is turned off? I haven’t had the melons to just try it yet. Also, traveling and don’t have my owners manual on me and was curious after watching some YouTube vids.

That drone they captured on the street drive, is that accurate? Also these guys will never be satisfied with any gearing LOL. Everything is “too long”.
