LOL, no word of a lie, I caught on to the whole "a RS is a RS" after the thread started and i said it.

It wasn't until i read some comments and a couple members said it as a joke that I realized the funny))))

Somehow I missed this thread...so is this little comparison actually happening? That would be utterly fantastic.

From my initial conversations with Jethro it would seem like yes it will. I am just waiting to get the car back before I start reaching out to set up a time to shoot it. I agree, this would be a very fun video to watch.

They would be missing a great opportunity not to shoot this comparison. The whole industry I will be watching this with intrigue

Very excited for you - when do you anticipate getting the car back?
I know Jethro a bit - he used my 991.1 GT3 for an Evo comparison against the Z06 a few years ago. Was a great experience, and he is a terrific guy.
Keep us posted!

also very excited for it!

had a chat with Jethro and Henry at Geneva this year. such nice guys.

maybe you can find also a 996GT3RS? (or a 997 4.0)
but i can also understand if you want to have it done 100% with your own cars! which makes things also easier.

They seem like it, would be nice to meet them. As for the 996RS, stateside that wouldn't be possible from my understanding unless someone has one brought over for race use only and would be willing to donate for the day. Would love to have a comparison with a 997 4.0. My only thoughts were that it was a special run LE car and not the regular production RS as the other models but nonetheless it would be amazing to have one for the video.
I will poke around Chicago to see if there are any willing owners who would participate.

Thank you Sir, I'm hoping by next weekend to have the car back and ready to rock and roll.
Thats awesome he used your car, if you still have a direct connection to him please feel free to give him a ring and tell him the Porsche world wants him to come thru and do us all a great video.👌😊
Thanks and will do.
