Couldn't hear it over the sound of other car's tires and the terrible music. Pretty though.

Is it just me, or does the .2 3RS feel a bit meh? I had wondered if I would "upgrade" the .1 3RS to the .2, but now I'm not feeling it. I think it is the 2RS that is corrupting my view.

I was hoping the suspension package from the 2RS would flow to the .2 3RS, but really it just got some style points. There 2RS seems to be the full package and a car to cherish for years.

Maybe they've still got a harder core 3RS up their sleeve to send the 991 car out on.

I'm leaning towards agreement.

Having both a .2 GT3 and 2RS on order, I'm having a hard time understanding the .2 3RS.

I thought that Porsche would do something special and split the difference between the GT3 and GT2RS power, so this feels somewhat anticlimactic ... but that's more of a 'me' issue under the well established 'expectations are the building blocks of disappointment' mantra.

The GT2RS is a HP monster, the GT3 as I ordered it is a NA flat six manual that is the last of its breed ... I'm not sure what the the 991.2 3RS is except a much slower GT2RS.

I have an agreed allocation for a .2 3RS but I might try to talk the dealership into a future limited edition car instead ... or not, I'm really first world confused.

I have a manual .2 gt3 and a gt2 RS in the pipeline. I am debating whether to replace the manual with this .2 3RS, having never owned a 3RS

Hearing that future 2RS Weissach cars are delayed for [8-10] weeks. Anyone else?
