I've yet to see any of the aftermarket tuners pounding around the Nurburgring with their upgraded GT2 RS engines (even Manthey left it alone).
Yup exactly! The 2RS MR didn't get any HP bump at all, I asked one of the guys from MR and this is what he replied: "As the engine is at the upper limit of its potential already. Additional HP is the last option for this car."

That's why the 935, CS and MR didn't get any HP bump... but sometimes seeing other 2RS with tuned ecu and cat delete pipes is very tempting LOL!

Was the power delivery similar to the stock one? No lag and just more pull? How's the sound?

I tuned my 997 GT2, it needed it, and its still a lot slower than the new Gt2 RS.. this new Gt2 RS 700 hp, does a 10.30 1/4 that's pretty fast.

The risk vs. the reward of adding more power makes no sense to me. Those are very expensive engines, you lose all warranty, anything that goes wrong related to that tune, zero coverage. So if money does not matter, go ahead

The reward, it most likely will not really make a difference in lap times, 1/4 a few tenths.. blasting from 60 to 124 mph runs .. or whatever speeds... maybe if thats your thing, then do it.

Sound is ok, honestly I wouldn't mess with the tune, it was fast but didnt make the car more "fun" than it already is if that makes sense.

The absolute last thing I thought when driving the 2RS was, "needs more HP". Y'all are nuts
