If ever I had even the slightest inkling of considering a PDK, that review squashed it dead right there!

Love the praises about the manual! He may be a little biased like me, but who cares, I like what I hear.

Oops - seems like an RS is no longer an RS. Just saying

7min 12.7 sec!!! That kind of improvement I thought was reserved for whole model changes, not for a refresh.

Holy hell, 7:12.7 is seriously fast! Comparing with the .1 GT3, I'm thinking that about 5 of those 12 second faster may be due to tires, but I don't know what version of the Cup 2 is on the .2 GT3. The .1 RS definitely just got its butt kicked.

Why don't you post something positive and constructive. Something that adds instead of digs. Take the higher ground. I know it's not always easy.

Consider that the track is not exactly the same, it's faster nowadays!

We never seen the Official Press Relese by Porsche for RS nurburgring time! (driver unknown,wet track)

If the same driver will drive RS on the same day with GT3 maybe it will "spoil" this party?

Don't know... It was driven by one of the developer drivers to the track.

Had a few words with him about the GT2 too.
Not much but I leave it in the GT2 thread later.

Why can't I get to page 21 of this thread? It just takes me back to 20. I use the direct link. I use the ">" link. I typed it manually in the URL. I tried it in a different browser.

It won't let me see what's next.

Edit: Weird. I posted this... and then saw the new entries... on page 20. Before it told me there was a 21. Did something weird happen here? Did posts get removed?

Ah well. Nevermind. Carry on.

Edit 2: Now it's happening again.

Is there a page 21 or isn't there??

A bird whispered that gt2 will come in both gt2rs and gt2? Any rumors around the ring?
