Thanks for posting.

Chris Harris is the man. As noted by him that RS has seen 30,000 hard miles with maniacs like him and still kill'n it. Still tight and robust. End of doubt.

RS is still the king for cars of its type even two years after its launch even when compared to the new AMG GTR

Thats why they continue to sell for over MSRP.

RS is RS 👍

To the point when top end starts exhibits same problems as 991.1GT3.
The king now is .2GT3 and shortly after .2RS will be.

Typical M4 GTS bashing by journalists, the car needs to be set properly in order to perform properly, the suspension, splitter, wing needs to be set manually on track mode unlike amg or RS which can be set with a push of a button. What strikes me the most is that harris own a signal green F80 M3.

Thanks for posting. Wish it was dry and did some times rather than chucking it around all day. Who's your daddy... lol

OT but also have to say Chris seems tired/flat in recent vids.

What makes you think it wasn't? Or was it even required for what this drive was all about?

I may reconsider selling my 997RS and 991RS for the .2GT3.

Funny

Can we all agree an RS is an RS??

Can we agree that a GT3 is a GT3??

So - we all can agree that, in actuality, you are what you are??

Good - time to start drinking margaritas - "Happy Cinco de Mayo" to all.

Nothing new here. But, it has me more excited to get my AMG GTR in 2 months to compare to my RS.

unfair, uncalled for and utter horse chit gratuitous smear. Guess we're waiting for 997 4.0 RS to exhibit top end problems too. Hydraulic valve 8500 rpm motor in that baby too 😱

Better let those guys know.😯

Theres one in every crowd.💩

🤣

Me too. Mine arrives in August, three weeks after I take delivery of my GT3.2 in July.

Im sure Harris would've picked the .2 GT3.....not! Surprised he didn't like the Merc more. M4 GTS is just stupid. With a stage 1 tune for 500 bucks my M3 is way better. Better suspension and over 500hp as Harris prefers it also.
