Have to agree. Refreshing no to deal with and get involved in all this market and value stuff.

Rather just talk cars.

Kobalt: Thanks for the find. It was fun and refreshing. Especially cool since RS was in the bestest and fastest color. LO!

From SportAuto 4/2017

Translation of the Summary: "If RS been white, it would have been even faster..."

Nice video jo_ker, I think these type of videos really transmits the joy of driving thru the screen.

^^^ Thats a Manthey Racing modified GT3 RS. Still a good time

I always thought the point of the Super Tests was they were done with OEM cars to show relative performance.

https://www.motormag.com.au/news/170...urgring-record

otherwise WRX STI Type RA NBR 6:57.5 - e.g. if its not OEM it becomes somewhat pointless.

I guess you're right but personally I find it very interesting to see what "minor tweaks" can do to the RS.

The WRX is basically a race car run on slicks so that is a completely different story IMO.

Think it is:

- Diffuser from 911R
- Adjustable suspension from the GT3R
- Magnesium wheels
- Road-legal racing pads
- Maybe they've manage to tilt the rear wing a bit extra

This is exactly it concerning the modifications.
And the rear wing is a bit more curved than original possible settings, doing one more hole in the wing mount

Didn't they run on cup2N0 "918 Spyder" tires not the cup2N1 "RS" ones ?
