Has anyone had the COBB tuning on their 2RS? On 93 octane fuel with the tune you gain another 94 hp and 73 lb-ft of torque. Any thoughts about COBB tuning and warranty concerns?

I've used stage 1 one tunes from COBB on subarus. They're pretty modest and safe in their early tunes. I wouldn't sweat it.
But, having just taken delivery of my 2RS, I'm not sure what I would do with more power, as appealing as it sounds.

I agree 700 hp is quite a bit but I am going to get the pricing and hp/torque gains for each of the stages at post that if anyone is interested. I went through 2 Porsches in about 18 months but this one is a keeper. I will first get used to the bump in hp over my previous 3RS then see if increasing the hp is something I would like to move on.

This car makes my 3RS feel slow...not sure how that is possible. I live at altitude, so the comparison is a little unfair, but my first takeaway was a question of how this car can just go into any joe blow's hands.

@BK77 the numbers may be inflated when I spoke to the SA at the dealership he is claiming that COBB tuning would void the warranty......so his solution they have a company that works with the dealership called GIAC that with their tune I would gain 100 hp and 60 lb-ft of torque. These claims may also be an example of salesmanship and the gains may, in fact, be more modest. If anyone has any experience with GIAC let me know.

Had a 2011 GT3RS and a 2016 GT3RS Voodoo. Traded them both in plus cash for a 2018 GT2RS. I finally found nirvana!!!!!!!!! I can never, ever go back.

Great to hear. Just got my car and I have not driven it yet. The 2RS is currently getting a full Suntek Ultra PPF so won't get the car back until the end of this week. I am looking forward to the extra power and torque. Currently my car has 12 delivery miles but that won't last for long.
