Nothing for the world-famous TRAKCAR to be jealous of,... just think about your ED with your Barney RS!!! My best dreams cannot match your reality. lol.
Thanks! I remembered your smile at Thill when I had my '08 GT2 during mooty trackday. Picture is worth a thousand words.
Province of BC had just over x2 the amount of new allocation 7.2 RS versus 7.2 non-RS GT3 (no idea what the net mix is with the US cars imported).
I don't care how many are out there. Don't need/want to feel special. Car is for personal enjoyment and find the attention completely undesirable.

Looks terrific...congrats! Can't wait for mine to arrive.
As for the size, I agree, these things are huge and I hate that part of it...but after driving a 991 cup I was blown away at how much easier it is to drive than a 997...so I'm cool with the extra size...like my waist!!

So Porsche Dubai has finally got a RS show car in their showroom - LO. First time I seen one in the flesh and they allowed me to sit in it and start her up.
Impressive car and I echo everyone else on here that state the car is better in real life. Love the look of car standing at front; rear not too bad; from side looks big. Gap between top of rear tyre and underside of wheel arch is a small finger width - how it won't rub i do not know.
Car for sure stands higher but doesn't look bad in real life; glad I did not order lift.
The carbon front bonnet is something else - the weave underside is great; the flat porsche logo looks great; inside finishes plush for an RS - felt rock solid and menacing; from the small blips of the throttle, it revs as free as blue whale in the atlantic ocean;
Saw a silver one too - very nice indeedy.
Notched up my excitement level 10fold and bloody hell is it gonna look good in yellowGreen! Just a shame they can't flippin tell me when i'm getting it.

I took delivery this evening.
Will be running at the Ridge tomorrow (what better way for break-in?).
Need to work now to make it happen. Will report back with pics and write up soon!

Wife = drives 50kms home; me = 1km to dinner. She says it's fair. Curious how other RLers will feel sharing their GT3 experience with their significants? I am still unsure.

I'm not sure I'll ever get used to this view,...
