Just got home with my RS. 90 miles to the dealer in the GT3, 90 miles back in the RS. I still have to put some more miles on it, but I was surprised at how different it felt from the GT3. The stock sound was better, and I'm actually leaning towards not doing anything to it, like you. Time will tell, but I think it sounds really good.

The other thing I noticed was just how much sharper everything was. Everything was more immediate and precise. It felt like it was a nimbler, lighter, and more planted car. I took turns with confidence I never had in the GT3. The suspension was stiffer, which was expected. The most unexpected thing about the RS was that it actually felt more comfortable to drive than the GT3. I drove it home with sports mode selected on the suspension the whole way, over some rough roads, and everything felt better than the GT3 in normal suspension mode. Not sure how that's possible, but it actually felt like it would be a better daily driver than the regular GT3.

I agree.
Its sharper and stiffer. The steering is almost Ferrari like meaning it is twitchy (in a good way) and more immediate. A little turn of the wheel invokes a more pronounced response than in the GT3. My RS has stock alignment and my GT3 has track alignment, but the RS feels sharper.

More importantly, show pics !

I noticed the same thing about the steering, it's so immediate and precise, I love it. It really felt like a go kart. I thought the GT3 was nice, and it really is, but the RS is definitely a different beast. At first I was wondering if I was crazy to spend $60k+ more to upgrade, now I think it's worth every penny.

It’s an industrial grade polyaspartic / polyuria coating material, not a cheap epoxy. They diamond grind the cement first, seal cracks, and then do their layers. You can pick your flake colors. I also had them add some aluminum oxide “pebbles” to make it slip resistant. It works great.

What sort of contractor was used to put it down? Any special capabilities?
