True. My RS is black with decal-delete, and that big wing still draws attention. I get people riding on my tail for miles trying to figure what the car is. Sometimes I think it might be better to advertise so they can tell from a distance and move on.

Next one's purple: Loud and proud!

This may be old news but was playing again in the configurator and now you can have any exterior color with the lava interior .... so i may switch from LO to White ...

Wow, that rear end is sitting a little too high for me - and could be the clincher for a thumbs down. I'm in the queue for the next allocation (not transferable). This photo is the clearest I've seen on the car's true stance. Always in the eye of the beholder, but not digging that look, at all!

I agree, the curtains are to short.

That's what we need...a wave of cancelled RS allocations because the RS ride height is higher than the GT3 and is jacked up in the rear like an NHRA Funny car...more RS's for those who are not phased by it..

Yet the RS has far more mechanical grip...

I was watching the F1 race last weekend and it was interesting to see the rake they were running on those cars. The front underbody was on the ground and the rear was in the air. I guess to reduce the air pressure and/or speed up the air under the back of the car? I don't think Porsche set the car up like that for its looks.

The aerodynamics on a F1 car is undoubtedly very complex. Generally speaking, I believe the bottom of an F1 car is level with the ground. The diffuser in the back of the car is what helps accelerate the air from the bottom to help with the downforce. The rake you mentioned may be due to heavy braking.

Don't think the RS has much in common with an F1 car with regards to the underbody aerodynamics.
