Resist the urge to speed heading north on WI rt 57, beautiful moraines but the limit drops at each small town (e.g. Fredonia?)

Great idea, thank you. I'll see if I can whip one up real quick. Will be funny to see the reactions after the Boom for the people who catch it

This machine has the potential to go INSANELY viral. Do some promotion:

A placard.

A 5 min thrashing video.

Hell, make some goddamn T shirts. I'd buy one.

Wow. The manual RS unicorn does exist. Saw it and met up with RJ today at Road America. Even took it for a drive on roads outside track! Drives just like it rolled off the line. Thanks RJ

awesome, AWESOME thread. Good to have a quiet day at work to be able to read through the whole thing! RJGT3RS . I'm sure we can all agree that money can be thrown at any problem in order to come up with a solution, but it takes ***** to go against the grain in attempting something like this with such a desirable car. I mean no disrespect with my comments! Congrats to you and enjoy your 1 of 1!


Out of curiosity, would this transmission bolt up to the 9A1 found in the 991.1 GT3? I understand it differs quite significantly from the RS donk.

Rob,
Enjoyed meeting you yesterday at RA!
Your car is truly unique. The 6 spd feel is tight and precise. And, surprising is the light feel of the clutch pedal.
Also really like the "Exclusive" options inside. I would like the leather finishes on the steering wheel.
Enjoy in good health.

Highly doubt it. The only reason this car has been made to work is that the ECU thinks that it's a 911R. Given that the GT3 uses a different engine, I doubt that it would work correctly.

isn't the only difference the crank and maybe rods for the extra .2l?

in addition to the weight loss the switch from pdk should free up a few hp too!
