GT3 is not a slow car... just dont drive a GT2 because afterwards you will feel the GT3 is slow. The way the GT2 pulls it feels more like 800hp

For me there is a minimum amount of time I want to be pushing a car to get satisfaction. In a 2RS I was going warp speed before my mind had gotten fully satisfied. As a track weapon the 2RS is the best no doubt. For the street it is a GT3 Touring or a 3RS with some upgraded vocal chords from Dundon or JCR for the win

But hey everyone is different.
agree everyone is different. 3RS and 2RS both still too fast for the streets. I hardly go WOT on both cars on the streets but its nice to know when there is a nice stretch of road the 2RS is that much more fun. I have Dundon race headers on my 3RS and it sounds nice but the 2RS with GMG exhaust sounds more exotic and 2-3 times louder than stock freaking love it

Any power gains from the GMG 2RS exhaust? Any loss in low end torque? I struggle with removing a titanium exhaust and replacing it with a stainless steel one - but I'm looking for ways to rationalize the GMG exhaust purchase 😉

Yup I agree. I mostly like Naturally Aspirated, but the 2RS is simply amazing! When you drive the 2RS, you have to look farther forward when you're getting on the throttle of the 2RS because it is that FAST.

Drive safe,

Interesting comparison between the Porsche GT2-RS and Lamborghini Aventador S; the review of the GT2-RS begins around 3:35.

Quite welcome; the comments were heavily weighted in favor of the 2RS, no surprise!

Correct........on the headlights but the interior is Blk/Red leather interior with leather on both the steering column casing and center console tunnel sides.

The MP4 12C had turbo lag but that's the last car I've experienced it in on street or track.
I have owed a 2RS and there is lag. Not the same as an old school turbo but it is there.

You hear the blow off very easily on the stock exhaust which I think is cool, but that screams turbo.

Guys, the 2RS is a great car no doubt and sounds great for a turbo... it’s the best turbo I have heard frankly.

I agree, sounds way better than my 720s. That thing sounds like a jet.

Speaking of sounds, still trying to familiarize myself with those of the 2RS.

Do any owners have an actuator type sound coming from under the engine after shutting the car off?
It almost sounds like the exhaust valves are flipping but that's not it cause they don't move when it does it.
It happens almost immediately after I shut off the car, and then does it a few more times over the next few minutes.
Even if I don't start the car, if I open the door which turns on the electrics, when I close the door it will do it a few times over the next few minutes.

Anyone else have this and/or have any idea what it is?
It was not present in my other 991 GT cars.

Thanks
