I've done 250+ mile days back to back on mountain roads with no issues in LWB. I'm on the smaller size so they fit me really well. The exhaust note is music to my ears.

I think my .1 was more comfortable over the long haul, (1600 miles in 9 days), But I think I must be getting old or something I really am thinking of going with a Gran Turismo type car with more comfort. I've done this RS thing over public roads for a while now and I'm ready for more comfort maybe a 50th anniversary with a manual or might even get the new Vantage if they ever release the 3 pedal version. That being said I love the RS and had a great time over every single mile on track and off

I can't stand in my GT3 at all.

So, the answer is not at all.

We’ve done many 12 hour days.
Leaving the Ring at 6AM and hope to be in Nogaro at 6PM tomorrow.

unfortunately, I’m getting there myself. I can do about 1hr at a time before I need to get out, stretch, bathroom, etc and have it still be enjoyable. I think the .1rs was considerably better for long road trips (quieter and more compliant suspension). That being said, I’ll take the .2 with a little less comfort in exchange for the extra goose-bumps when you poke/prod it. I think one day i’ll be done with driving a gt3/rs for hours to track and back. I’d rather be in max comfort to/from track and either trailer or arrive-n-drive for track events. Trekking through traffic, construction and crap roads in an RS gives me zero pleasure anymore. For a pure street experience, I’d reach for the keys of several other older, more emotional cars at lower speeds (and more comfy in some cases). For a drive to track-and-back choice, 991’s have no equal imo.

50th Anniversary's are great cars.
