Default Air Cooled Race Car vs. GT3RS
Took delivery of the GT3RS a few months ago and just got around to getting some high quality pics. A friend of mine offered to shoot the RS alongside my air cooled. Let me know what you think!

Great shots! Crazy how much larger the RS is than the air cooled!

White on black on any 991 RS is just perfect. Not that other color combos don't suit the car too, but that combo just looks classic. Nice pair!

Thanks, I couldn’t agree more. White on black was my first choice.

Air cooled race cars are extremely fun. The more high strung the engine the better the experience

Negative...a addictive drug habit is cheaper than racing one

So i sold mine

I am totally smitten...great photos. You must be tickled pink to own them both. Just curious what is the front radiator for in the G model? Looks pretty exposed.

Not entirely sure. A few different Cannons I think..and a handful of big white lenses ($$$).

They both have their purposes for sure. I am more partial to the fat one most days - why did you opt to stay air cooled?

It's easy to sink a lot of money into them for sure. I don't know how much track time it will see over the next few years. The RS is just SOOO good. The air cooled is fun to drive on the limit on the back roads.

Thank you!! It's quite a privilege to be the care taker of such great machines. It is indeed an oil cooler. There's mesh in front that protects it quite well.

I have close go 200k miles?? and prolly 30+ GT3/rS over the years, they really don't do it for me anymore.
air cooled stinkers can scare you ****less. seems more exciting...
