I took delivery of mine on Friday and was totally amazed at how the car was on the street. I dont know how they do it, but the ride is quite better than my GT3 and the buckets are completely comfortable. Wouldn’t change a thing.

Didn’t really have time to drive the sports cars lately but so far from street driving: RS Handles tighter than the pista. Feels quicker off the line although Mid range feels about the same. RS has More of a track car feel. Pista is more comfortable. Overall pista is a quicker version of the 488 and looks insanely good. 2RS is like no other Porsche.

Nico Rosberg Drives a Hybrid
Saw this video about Nico Rosberg driving the 918 Spyder how impressed he is even with five years of technology and says drives just like a F1 car.
Fast forward to 14:50, retired Mercedes Benz AMG F1 race car driver says he "Splurged" in buying the latest 991 GT2RS. Not long ago he was invited at Weissach and had the privilege as the first outsider to test drive the prototype Mission-E (Taycan).
Drive safe,

Mine is for sale at Hennessy Porsche. MSRP is 325K and they are asking $399k... Has full body PPF and ceramic coating. I believe there is a little room to negotiate in there as well. In the end, for me it was an astoundingly well engineered car, amazingly fast and composed, sounded awesome. I had every intention of keeping this car for a while, but yeah, you've heard that before. It was fun to have for a while but I found that it was too special and much too fast to be my only Porsche... So I did a 1 for 2 deal. I bought a manual Carrera T and have a lizard 3RS coming in a few weeks and I think that's a pretty awesome combo. The Carrera T is just incredible. So much fun to drive. Would not be a good track car, but thrashing it in the mountains, ( my favorite thing to do in a car) is such a blast.

This GT2 has been an annoying experience with Porsche. I have bought at least 2-3 Porsche’s a year including every version of 991 GT car, ordered them all. My dealer is tiny, but takes care of me. I placed a GT2 order in system when it was announced and Porsche never gave my dealer a single allocation. My dealer talked directly with Porsche endlessly, showed them my purchase history, etc etc. crickets. So it’s ridiculously frustrating when people are given the opportunity to buy a GT2 only to drive it a month or 2 and immediately sell it. I’m not a newbie to Porsche, that’s the frustrating part. I hope there are people out there driving these monsters! In the meantime, I’ll wait patiently for my 3RS to return from ED!

Sean, not a jab at you, just frustrating when you see so many for sale so quickly, yet I actually wanted to get one to drive and wasn't given time of day. , I think the weak link is sadly my tiny dealer; they got 2 GT3s and 1 GT3RS this round of 991.2s. I always try to buy locally as they take care of me, plus the games from out of state dealers are ridiculously stupid. Perhaps I need re-evaluate where I purchase my cars!

<$399k doesn't soundthat bad for someone who really wants one to drive, especially when they've been going for >$100k over MSRP. Maybe the market adjusted, or I'm full of the Kool-aid....
I want a Carrera T! Looks like the ideal car to put 200k miles on. Maybe I'll give back my incoming 2RS in exchange for a T - not!

Agreed, just spent the weekend in Big Bend with the Houston PCA group thrashing around the mountains. Also the first time it's been down dirt roads! Absolutely the most underrated car in the fleet .
