Beautiful machine Stephen! Congratulations again. Looking forward to seeing you put it through its paces at Pacific on the 11th.
Hey J.! You're the 3rd Meteor Grey 7.2 GT3 to respond. Some salt in the wounds! Will you be there on 9/11 for PCA PNWR event at Pacific? Would be awesome to catch up. Wife will be driving in beginner group; I'll be coasting in advance without bar/harness.

Love to come break it in, but on the 14th. I am still on a plane ride home from France (Lemans) for "work".
You've driven the Sea to Sky road now; you get why I like rowing my own gears with this in my backyard and our condo at Whistler.
14th is up in the air; looking more and more unlikely,...
Nothing for the world-famous TRAKCAR to be jealous of,... just think about your ED with your Barney RS!!! My best dreams cannot match your reality. lol.

Thanks! I remembered your smile at Thill when I had my '08 GT2 during mooty trackday. Picture is worth a thousand words.

Province of BC had just over x2 the amount of new allocation 7.2 RS versus 7.2 non-RS GT3 (no idea what the net mix is with the US cars imported).
I don't care how many are out there. Don't need/want to feel special. Car is for personal enjoyment and find the attention completely undesirable.

I sure hope you're right!!! Wife says I'm old now and need PDK. She's sold on interior and doesn't miss my old 7.2 GT3 one bit. For me,... I keep on flipping through classifieds/listings (it's another disease that likely many on RL also have)

Thanks Joe! Look forward to seeing how the alignment/sways feel on the new car with your guidance. Will surely report back.
Looks terrific...congrats! Can't wait for mine to arrive.
As for the size, I agree, these things are huge and I hate that part of it...but after driving a 991 cup I was blown away at how much easier it is to drive than a 997...so I'm cool with the extra size...like my waist!!
So Porsche Dubai has finally got a RS show car in their showroom - LO. First time I seen one in the flesh and they allowed me to sit in it and start her up.
Impressive car and I echo everyone else on here that state the car is better in real life. Love the look of car standing at front; rear not too bad; from side looks big. Gap between top of rear tyre and underside of wheel arch is a small finger width - how it won't rub i do not know.
Car for sure stands higher but doesn't look bad in real life; glad I did not order lift.
The carbon front bonnet is something else - the weave underside is great; the flat porsche logo looks great; inside finishes plush for an RS - felt rock solid and menacing; from the small blips of the throttle, it revs as free as blue whale in the atlantic ocean;
Saw a silver one too - very nice indeedy.
Notched up my excitement level 10fold and bloody hell is it gonna look good in yellowGreen! Just a shame they can't flippin tell me when i'm getting it.
Wife = drives 50kms home; me = 1km to dinner. She says it's fair. Curious how other RLers will feel sharing their GT3 experience with their significants? I am still unsure.
