They are great. A little slow and notchy by today’s standards, but you’ll never find a more connected or granular car.

The car that got me into the RS world! Still one of the best looking in my opinion and the .2 is still one of my favorites. I think the size and proportions are just perfect and on a track wonderful. The rear end is still the best look for all the Porsches and if I weren't into this whole speed thing I would buy one in a heartbeat.

I must be an idiot.

997 GT3 RS does nothing for me.

I'd rather have a 996 GT3 RS. I'd almost consider moving to Europe just to drive one. Or jump through all those EPA / DOT hoops to import one.

Love me some fried egg headlights. I must be an idiot.

Been having an itch for a 997RS since buying my 993. I like the older feel. Speed is largely irrelevant on the road.
