A bit more praise for the GT4 at Goodwood, and a quick good remark on the RS

While I do agree, that the RS will be faster than a GT4 in almost all respects, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if in certain turns/curves where a GT4 makes it thru with greater aplomb. It's called Physics, mid-motor vs. rear-motor. Take both of them to a tight autoX track and they may run VERY similar times, and yes, it is possible on such a tight course where the ability to hold corner speed in tight turns is more important, that the GT4 comes out on top. That being said, I'm sure the RS will walk the GT4 on almost any circuit in the world. That doesn't mean it can't be faster through certain sections. Just sayin

The GT4 can be slower than a Cayenne for all I care. It has a manual. I want to have fun with any car,I'm not professionally racing,I have no ego and let cars pass me all day with a smile,I just don't care...

I think the RWS covers the tight corners. Rear engine big downforce is benefit the rest of the time. It's be after everywhere but for some mid engine is worth it. For me mid engine is only thing I do t like.

This, same for me it's feel. Otherwise we'd all drive BRZ's.

Making our way through Germany after euro delivery of a GTS cab. We spent the day at the ring today and spotted a couple RS's. See attachments.

I just looked it up and interestingly, the Cayman and the GT3 with it's RWS, both have a 36.4' turning radius. So most likely with their wider rubber, the GT4 and the 3RS will probably have the same turn radius as each other as well.
