Ok, found something about that GT3 test, look at the maximum lateral acceleration level touched, 1,67g for GT3 and 1.358g for RS.
Fxz..this means just one thing, the day RS was tested there was no grip, that's why a higher laptime, no other reason

Actually Auto magazine
claims the excessive RS weight
Aero story is just mine
to complain about 50k of nothing
ops sorry 50k for a bigger wing! 8600 rpm
super fat Rs and useless holes in the rear to keep the profits super!
Whatelse should we discover?
That s a bargain isnt it?![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Much better the Gt3 so far

I'm over at the 996 Turbo section mostly but just wanted to add that a guy on YouTube (shmee150) had a .1RS on some kind of tour last week and he said that the RS was as fast/a bit faster then the 458 Speciale on the highway...not bad considering the drag from that wing and it's "500 hp".

Yeah, he did something like a 6-part series while driving the RS around. Given that he's a McLaren diehard, it's refreshing to hear all of his praise. He did make some kind of comment about the relatively low HP output, but said he was surprised by how Porsche seemed to have wrung a lot of performance from such a figure. He also couldn't get enough of the exhaust note and linear power band.

Also I don't think porsche is that stupid to make rs slower than gt3. Whatever gt3 is selling as below msrp and rs is selling at least 50k over. If you think rs is worse or slower than gt3 I think you're better to try the rs and gt3 back to back.
Rs was not a lot faster than gt3 rs are faster but not by a big margin. If you can't justify the 50k premium I totally understand. But this is the biggest gap ever than previous ones for sure. no way it is slower than gt3. If Porsche make rs slower than gt I think they would not even release the rs.

I don't understand if you can get an rs for msrp and make at least 20-50k why you would not take it.

Denial is for ppl without
arguments against
1 disappointing 8600Rpm +
2 disappointing Super Weight +
3 disappointing Awful rear holes for profit (for them) reasons
ridicoulus for a 200k car
p.s. i had chance for 1 Rs in January
i ve chosen Gt3 instead
i can have another Rs in next Rs batch arriving
but i do not like it for the above 3 reasons
so difficult to accept or smone here is sell driven?

Ok, we get you don't like the RS. You are just trolling now. No one is forcing you to buy one. Move along please.

The vents aren't decorative, high pressure intake with some ram air effect, completely new induction system, seems superior to the GT3s back hood intake...what's wrong with that?
Your 9K is an internet winner, but really just reads as overrev to me.
The GT3 versus RS value fights go back years, this is really the first one where not been much of a debate. Just clearly not for you, don't let the door....

first of all thank you for considering a different opinion (finally one!)
defending opinion against no arguments
(jealously , stupid allocation or denial pseudo reasons) is not trolling
but keeping the Rl reputation higher
enough to not swallow any idiocy
aka situations as the king is naked like
looking forward to finalising order for Next Rs...

personally i reckon there was a U-turn at Pag GT
due engine failures
but i reckon also there s sufficient technology around
to overcome these issues
so Gt3 failures and Rs not progressing but regressing
are more related to an higher and higher profit sickness
and not to engineering
hopefully they ve learnt the lesson
