Absolutely horrible. Too easy, now every newbie driver can do this too.

Yup. Too easy, ugly car, looks like no fun at all....cancel my order....

BTW, in the side by side speedo comparison with the RS 4.0 the 991 GT3 ran 0-200kph in close to 14 sec, which raised some questions about that video. I get right around 11 sec in this vid....

WOW!!!
Mike, I agree with your conclusion of the 0-200kph...around 11sec...this thing is FAST!

& Guards Red looks incredible!

I remember when you could buy cars without ABS. Hated it in the winter but got used to it.

That thing is bonkers. It ooks like an insane amount of fun getting that car hanging out at those speeds. I had to play it twice to make sure it hadn't been Photoshop it went around that corner so fast LOL!

Agreed. Boring video just droned on and on.

The video seemed to stutter during that run-up. Sticky tires and cold air? Looked like a short shift in there -- maybe they discovered a better shift point for some gears rather than running to redline every time.

Hence all the discussion when "Chick-Tronick", PDK, and Sport Chrono with launch control became standard features!
