I'm not an expert. But from what I understand, there's a difference between a helper spring and a tender spring. The springs on these cars are helper springs. They should be fully compressed under vehicle weight. If, for some reason, the suspension is 100% unloaded and goes into full droop, the helper springs expand and keep the main spring from coming off the perch. That is the helper spring's only job as far as I understand. If they were tender springs, it'd be a different story.

here are A LOT of fans for the ACR.
regarding warranty. there is no possibility from Dodge within EU. just other / second hand ones. cars as warranty options. i can only wait till the rear window blows out, or to see if i had badluck with my engine, etc...
will be more expansive here. but maintenance is not an issue within the region. a lot of good (also US Cars) specialists in an area of 100miles.but why you think having to sell if somebody want to set it up professional? i know a couple of guys which are quite happy with their Acr. and they track it also often.
fur sure it is the closest benchmark for the .2RS ring time.
and than comes the performante. but this i don‘t believe.
sub7. also if i remember well: around 7 was stopped from Mischa or Dale during the first GT2RS record laps.?

My hope is sub 7 minutes. 7:10 would be only 2 seconds faster than the current GT3, over 11 miles. That would bring new meaning to Porsche’s incremental improvement policy

i personally will be many years from today faster with the RS as with the ACR. but its an event. driving as owning it. i guess it feels similar like going to a US Bimmer Trackday in an E46CSL.

an me, but the wheels at least were tested on their cars and customers cars. I think they offer a solid ball mount too, so I would guess that was too. I was talking more about alignment and maybe kw suspension.
p.s. why isn't there an gt3 or rs trying out tractive on nurburgring?

With all this talk about the RS performance on the track, we should be concerned about the driving dynamics on the street. With major changes in the chassis and suspension, what's it going to be like driving regularly on the street especially compared to the .2GT3?

100% stiffer springs will make it less compliant over rough roads for sure...

True, but it's a little misleading since the GT3 has very little downforce at 124mph (so twice a small amount is not that much). Makes more sense to compare at 175mph (more than double the downforce of 124mph) where the RS should be making LOTS of downforce (and still around double the GT3).
A car has 4 times the downforce when traveling twice the speed.
I wonder when Porsche is going to provide an active rear wing like Lambo and McLaren to reduce drag when going straight? This will make a big difference to Ring time.
