Agreed RS is great but I don't track much and I love the launch of the TTS and its just fine in the twisties.
No disrespect to the turbo meant. It is a beast and I may well have felt different if the drive was on my normal rural roads as opposed to the track. In fact my last instructor at PEC (who were all factory P drivers, I think) said if he could own any Porsche in the line up, it would be the turbo. There was just something so special in the sauce of that RS....

Just drove my RS down to Smokies event- 8 hours each way. It was surprisingly comfortable. Would I want to do that for every vacation, eh no. However, it was better then anticipated as a GT car. That being said, Im ordering my GT3.2 to be a much more civilized car at my wife's request. She repeatly commented about how annoying it was to climb in and out of the buckets. But my word the RS is just amazing.

I sure noticed the steep sill to get into the bucket, but once in, thought they were very comfortable. I'm not sure my wife would agree!

Drive mine all around the SE for track stuff - 4K miles in two months. Totally agree that it's more comfortable than one might expect. It's good for folks who like an upright driving position.
