None of you guys are helping me in making my decision. 4RS is calling my name more than ever.

Plus all the other differences that make it an "RS is an RS" you truly understand and feel once you drive it back to back with a "normal" GT product.
Really hun!?. My short time in the 4rs had be begging to get back in the more raw 981 gt4. The reg gt4 even sounded better at legal speeds and I could never get rid of the engagement that a manual provides.

The only car that I've driven that is better than the 4RS is my 997 GT3RS, the 4RS is an amazing car. I'm hitting the track on Saturday with it for the first time, can't wait.

Martin, afterwards please post your thoughts on your 4RS on the track , and your 4RS vs other Porsches you previously tracked.

Short answer. No. Speculative answer, I have been told by my cleaning ladies Nov 24 is the last production month. Albeit, I personally wouldn't be surprised if they built them into 25.

Thanks. I will email my dealer about an allocation but I probably don’t have enough buying power with the dealership to get an allocation.

Porsche must have seen JayEmm’s end of the world video and figured they better move all those unsold RS cars.

Only thing I got out of my cleaning lady was "Extending 718 ICE production as long as possible" but wouldn't give details what 718 production really means.

Anyone know what the spring rates are on the 4RS? Are they stiffer or softer than Swift springs?

The Speed District Buttonwillow track day is actually next Saturday the 8th, don't know why I thought it was this Saturday.

I've tracked 997, 991, and 992 GT cars along with the 981 & 718 GT4 so I'm very curious how the 4RS will be in comparison. The car will be fully stock with no rollbar and harness so I get a good baseline before I start modding it.

FWIW Jenson Button is on the record for never spec'ing buckets in his 911's cause he wants to be comfortable in his street cars. Always found that tidbit kind of amusing.
