Trakcar you got the 1st and the 2001st post in this thread

Unless this guy was a customer getting a free ride it looks like the RS may still be in testing. Spotted today at the Ring:

Pretty race car looking...That wing is huge ! The car will be north of $200k lightly optioned, my bet. Looks like a CF front hood too.

The spy photos get me all rev'd up for a 991RS! I must admit they look the business with all the wing and scoops..

Cant help wonder what a full stripper 991RS would be like as a track day car that you can still cars n coffee with a license plate...

Too soon to tell perhaps, but either way i am sure in full trim it will suffice for the odd track day as a street car.

Im on the Fence for this car and think the 991RS will need a year or two to prove itself on how far it can cross over to being a track worthy stripper. (if you are into that sort of thing)

Who isn't into hot strippers? I must say the car looks pretty bad ***. If I could get a PTS one, I'd go against my rule of buying brand new.

Looks the business but don't like those roof and hood ridges.

Looking at the spy pic am having difficulty seeing the ducts on top of the front wings that were on earlier prototypes. Is it just the camera angle??

They're there. You can make out the ridge above the wheel where they're taped over.

From that angle with the monster rear rubber and wing it's looking a bit like a top fuel funny car....

Big question on the stripper angle is whether it can handle slicks.

Slicks are for CUP cars.
