.2GT3RS driving impressions vs .1GT3RS
Those who have seat time in both please tell us what you think. |
at 8 minutes .2 GT3RS seat time compare
from Hanry Catchpole https://youtu.be/w0d_AZbSLwQ |
AC-Satco should be reporting soon
|
while we wait for the GT3 RS comparison....
Anybody with seating experience on 991.* GT3 and 991.2 GT3RS ? In the video in post #2, Henry sort of mentions that there is not much difference the GT3 and RS -at least engine wise-, and he seems to "prefer" the GT3...I believe that in that video, or another one, he said he likes better the steering feel on the GT3. Those who took the .2RS to the track, any feedback ? How do you compare it vs other you've driven under similar conditions ? On the street, does the new firmer suspension make it too hard/harsh ? |

I'm done! Anyone want my .2 GT3RS? If not it goes out with the recyclables immediately. :crying: This is soooo frustrating. :mad: Alas, that 6:56 seconds at the Ring now means nothing. :crying: |
Yeah, I think I'll give back my RS allocation now and troll for a used gt3.
|
Are the engines exactly same spec ? (GT3 vs RS in the .2)
Where is the performance gain coming from ?, the extra 20HP... engine mapping or some mechanical ? Is PDK exactly same as GT3 ? Suspension stiffer, more downforce, wider body, wider tires (on RS) Are brakes same wrt GT3 ? (The cooling is not) Weight I think is same also. (The wider chassis got compensated with magnesium roof, plus some carbon fiber ?) Any other difference ? |

Jr: No, no, no. It's worth something for scrap I would think. Right???

Yes, that seems to be his conclusion, did any other owner share the sentiment ?

Where is the performance gain coming from ?, the extra 20HP... engine mapping or some mechanical ? Is PDK exactly same as GT3 ? The last RS had 25 hp extra (5.3%) compared to GT3, but it also had 200cc more (5.3% also), so the advantage was there from idle to redline (not anymore). While some people have posted evidence that there are many RS-specific part numbers, I have not been convinced that there is any internal difference between the engines (GT3 and RS). Seems purely a matter of side intakes rather than decklid intakes, BMC air filters (which also fit GT3), a Titanium muffler (don't know if simply lighter or better flow also), and a different ECU tune. The PDK vs. Manual issue is not relevant for the way Porsche rates these motors (on an engine dyno outside the car), though in practice PDK does output less of its power to the wheels (more internal friction with wet clutches). And the ram-air effect is not relevant either (no wind on an engine dyno). |
