Bad setup or general consensus?

Bring on the GT2RS.
Same car more torque, new track record.
I don't get the spinning the RS part, mine doesn't understeer more and certainly is easier and more playful to catch than the 997's.
It took some setting up but its really, really easy to drive.

I still can't believe these guys don't have trackside alignment available. His problem sounds like the rear had toe out??

However, it’s just not as good to drive as the regular flavor GT3 is. “The GT3’s magical handling has somehow been deleted with the addition of the RS badge,” Cammisa says. “Whereas the GT3 was perfectly neutral, the RS flings itself into corners *** first and then understeers through the rest of the turn.” The GT3 RS felt like an old-school 911, specifically the Widowmaker, i.e., the 996 GT2. Near the limit, the GT3 RS was an oversteering handful. A talented (amateur) driver friend of mine explained that on the same track he was faster in the GT3 than in the GT3 RS. I think that’s going to be the case unless you’re a professional. Even then, the RS is tricky. “It says a lot about the GT3 RS that it’s the first and only car Randy’s ever spun while hot lapping MRLS,” Scott Evans says. “Not once but three times.”
But then, here's the recent Bergmeister video, where the car doesn't look benign either:

I started -3F and -3R, a bit of toe in front and rear but we have been lowering the car, about 5mm front and 2.5 mm rear so that affect toe and camber. Still have to take measurements, will try to do this week.

Good info. Did you get rubbing in the tighter or faster comers?
