Do they have the weight of the RS right at 3792 lbs!??
Honestly, that was a poor review and very non informative. It's funny seeing him talk and drive as they show different color cars than the ones he is driving. It's always cool seeing those cars in action though.

Surprised he could even get these cars for review. I never really listened. Kept rewinding to see the cars over and over.

Curb weight of the RS is not correct - is it?

I'd bet that the 3792 is gross vehicle weight - weight with two passengers and a full tank of fuel...

PCNA did several days of school press drives in late October at Road A.

The RS sounds sooooo much better than the GT4.

[QUOTE=Archimedes;12795784]The RS sounds sooooo much better than the GT4.[/QUOTE

It is interesting you say that. I took my GT3 up to the dealer to have them pump an additional 5 psi of nitrogen in to each tire because today will be my last before She goes to sleep. There was a GT4 up there and we all concluded the GT4 sounds better until about 6500 rpm on the GT3 and then forget about it. My Expectation Would Be The Same For The RS

I guess what I am saying is the GT4 exhaust is pretty darn cool and sounds better for daily driving. In th high rpm range is where the GT3 dominates

Yeah, I'm just referring to the sound of that on track video, where the RS just sounds otherworldly. The GT4 sounds pretty much like a typical 981 GTS/991 PSE to me. Still sounds good, but man that RS sounds amazing on the pipe.

I noticed the same. Perhaps RS owners with cars on hand can confirm the stock exhaust is all we need. To be frank, I only watched half of the video and kept rewinding and missed the GT4 portion
