Default Properly Used GT2 RS and GT3 RS

Went to Sebring yesterday and there were a BUNCH of great cars. High five to these owners!

I'll be joining them in a few weeks with my 991.2 RS.

Funny you said that “ Properly used”. I went with my 17 YO son to my dealer to see my Lizard green 3RS that arrived a bit earlier than expected...It was truly a stunning looking car in person.
He asked me if I will track it . I replied No....He looked at me and said “ It is like capturing an exotic animal , never to set it free”. I actually was stunned by his comment, because he spoke the truth.

He is right... To not take these cars to the track at some point is not enjoying what these cars are truly made for.

Yes, street driving is fun. But these cars come to life between 5k and 9k RPM... And that PDK comes to life as well.

Try it... You'll like it.

I did indeed , DE is all about the joy of driving,none of these cars could come close to the joy of driving a GT4 ... if you find that hard to believe, ask around the people that own both platforms....for a street car, no other Porsche will compare to the under-powered , manual GT4...
It has been 3 years for me since I have moved from tracking GT3/RS to a GT4 and I have every GT car available....but unless I want to drag race , I prefer the GT4 .

I've heard that quite a lot about the GT4.

I didn't see your signature on my mobile. You certainly know the characters of these cars!

Awesome shots! Bryan's GT2RS is running our Manthey Racing extended water tank. He was the first of our guys to put it to the test on track, sent this pic:

After trading my GT4 for another GT3 I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I made the right choice. The GT4 at the Smokies events was an absolute ball.
