Andreas has had a very good run with some incredible cars. He is a true Porsche enthusiast, no doubt about it. But that isn't to say that the guy behind him doesn't kill it too. I think the GT division is bigger than one guy. It is a culture.

+1 - the main negative risk is if VW starts pulling all the talnet to help other struggling Marques...

So silly.. doesn't scratch the surface of the convo, and really kind of rude towards a whole industry of hard-working people.

all good as long as they don't try selling us another engine that hasn't had proper motorsport testing and don't start adding weight....

Good point and I hope they have learned a lesson. They have not turned their backs on any of the Owners and as long as that continues than that us great

That is a 4.5, V8. OP mentioned a 4.0 with 9k redline which had me wondering.

AP knows he has a following, as well he should. I enjoy watching his video's and he just sounds like an approachable, down to earth guy. He's great at what he does.

Naturally aspirated GT cars for me - there's a million turbo cars - and I'm trying not to buy one until I have to.

The last turbo car I bought -2015 m3- lasted less then 3 weeks. Straight to Porsche dealer to trade in.

Kamal, are you keeping the .1RS for now or trading it in?

Agree, but I don't think either will happen with the 991.2 RS.

Maybe you'll get there on both with the 992.1 RS.

Hey Bronson. Sold the eggplant and miss it everyday. I got out with zero $ lost . The .2GT3 will be a beast but once you taste the RS its difficult driving anything else. I been assured PTS .2GT3 as well as .2RS but the wait for the new RS is taking its toll. Had to sell the RS to get my kid out of college Bronson. She is now working and I am recovering LOL. I been ridding my Ducati and BMW to get my dose of GT3.

AP is as important to the Porsche GT division as the GT division is for AP's success.

It's a symbiotic relationship.
