The 718 has been a flop. The buyers are speaking. After all, it's about sales $$$'s correct? The true measure of success.

Looks like 991.1 C2S is outselling it alone just in pre-owned transactions. 95% of people out there would choose the 991.1 over a 718 4 banger.

991.1 outdated? If that's the case with the Carrera's must be the case with the .1 GT3 and RS??

Anyway, back to the .2 RS. Didn't mean I get off topic too much.

Had similar - to be honest for GT2 money has a lot of competition.

Too many posts here to buy an LE - they end up being feather dusted how enjoyable can that be for Porsche to see their greatest cars sit.

LE's are great for special runs like the 918 but this VIP is a knee jerk (to fill 918 allocations) debacle that needs to be fixed enough of the parts bin few changes LE's.

Porsche should crank out as many as possible this top tier bs by guys who flip or sit on their cars or even worse dealers ADM is IMO poor business all around. Cars and finances don't mix well - again IMHO it's bs for a brand like Porsche these cars are for drivers!

Here's a little discussion of HP and Torque for any geeks like me :

Now we know what the intake vents on the hood look like. Very much in the vein of Cup car. Question remains what do they do?

Cool a front KERS device?

^^^ GT2 RS mule from my understanding

F40 - Minimal impact on airflow, while still creating an inlet for airflow. They can be used in nearly any application that requires airflow, whether that’s feeding an air intake, a radiator, or even cooling for a driver. The Ferrari F40 made extensive use of NACA ducts.

Most paid over MSRP. Me included. Don't regret it one bit. Love my RS.

Not worried about that. New .2GT3 will be selling in most stores for well over MSRP. New GT2RS will be selling for well over MSRP and with the new .2GT3RS when it arrives later in 2019 it will likely replicate the inital numbers the 991.1RS was fetching. Unless of course you are aware of any "anti over msrp" pixy dust that is going to be sprinkled over these new GT cars.

PAG is always improving and making the new "better" than the last. Thats how they sell new cars and make money. Better doesn't mean the last was not good or no longer good. Long list of Porsche Exhibits that are still dream cars to prove that including but not limited the 991.1GT3RS.

Sometimes the older models have a charm and presence. 991.1RS was epic nd still is despite there is always going to be the new and improved model.

Exhibit A. 2012 987 Spyder. Could have bought a new 981 Spyder but the 987 has a special charm.

Agreed. It will take a lot of pull to buy .2RS or GT2RS at MSRP. Although, people like yourself with a .1RS will have a very good bargaining chip.

Yea, but these two are basically visual twins except for intercooler outlets in rear bumper, so it's logical that those vents on frunk are the same also

MaxLTV

My experience was the opposite. The unstable camber from the inferior rear suspension shows itself above 8/10th or even earlier. Many who drive GT3 and GT4 note the same thing. Even GT4 CS needs significant time investment from someone who really knows what they are doing to make them manageable. 718 engine is very strong, but handling at the limit is not its strong side, at least in the stock form.

You're mistaken with respect to engine displacement and homologation; that's how Corvette runs a 5.5L NA V8 when the homologation car is a 6.2L FI V8.

Frank reiterated no 991 hybrid last time I saw him (Sebring). But who knows.

TRAKCAR

The GT2RS mule has the air intakes open, while the GT3RS mule has the GT3nose and frunk air vents taped over....

GT2RS looks better.

CDH911C2S

As much as I would like to disagree ...being the owner of a flop 991.1....I believe you are correct....which makes me sad I cannot purchase a 911R----

Cheers

Transmission cooler? Any reason for the front brakes to get additional cooling?...I know the location Of the vents is not ideal by any means---I vote for driver cooling..
