Makes a difference being the passenger.

Matt, not sure if anyone has asked you this or not. On you old C2S, you had the sport design or "aerokit" front bumper, but no added rear downforce. As I understand it, Porsche recommends adding both pieces so the aero downforce is balanced front to rear. Some people take this as gospel, while others don't. Some people point to what they think is a "worthless" diffuser on the 911R as an example that it really isn't a huge deal to get the front aero but not the rear, while die hards would say that you are ruining the car with no rear wing (or diffuser?).
What are your thoughts regarding the subject? Did you feel an rear end lift or uneasy at high speeds?
TIA

I think you might be reading into it a bit too much. I don't think there is much thought and testing of the front bumper as we'd all hope. Also remember that both the C2S and 991R have a retractable wing. I felt no difference. Larger wing and downforce would only be seen in lap times.
after I traded my 991.2 mt c2s For the gt3 i still domt think i could feel the rear wing being helpful to me at the track as both feel similar but like i said i am no pro so wouldnt feel a difference.

I'll be the first to admit... I'm not a good passenger. You can say i like to be in control. ; )
Plus, at 260lbs... you will likely feel a difference in handling!!!

Exactly and even that you would have to be a pro driver to be able to ¨feel¨ the need of front or rear downforce.

Oh I know... first time I rode with him on the track (Atlanta Motorsports Park), we're heading into turn 6 at about 105 MPH and still no signs of braking-- thinking to myself "so this is where it all ends huh?". Honest to God, my first time out and had absolutely no idea how the car was going to stop in time.

And mwar- asks to drive my RS, says he'll take it easy and then proceeds to rev to 8800 down a mountain, around a curve, at night, in the fog.
