Exactly my thoughts... The present benchmark appears to be Cup2's which is the OEM choice of the vanilla GT3 and Fiat-Speciale. But this being a test mule they could've put anything on it this side of snow tires

Interesting not a single 991 GT3 we know of was delivered on the Dunlop Maxx Sports that were promised as an option....

Turbo with GT3 wheels, probably makes imagining what RS will look like easier...

The GT3 and TTS have the same front/rear tire sizes. It would be strange if they went to a larger rim on the rear, which would give more contact patch and skew grip to the rear. If you look at the difference between the RSR and the street car, the fronts are proportionately larger. And the race car has the engine and weight shifted forward as well. If anything, then, they should leave the rear alone and 'add tire' (width) at the front. Oh wait, marketing.

With the risk of making myself hugely unpopular, am I the only one who thinks that everybody who manually puts up their (electric) rear spoiler on purpose (regardless the car), is, uhm, a bit of a poser?

I know what your saying but must ask, who's more shallow... manual wing guy or guy who cares about manual wing guy being a 'poser'?

Does it make you a poser if you enable PSE, as well? It's pretty much the same concept.

My 9 year old kid does it every time he rides with me, I feel ridiculous when he does it but his happiness is more important than me looking like a poser

I suppose the difference is, at least on the C2S, that you can't even see it when it goes up. So, unless you are doing it for performance reasons, it is a little ...
