One other misgiving I have about the RAS is the difficulty in using 19” wheels due to clearance issues. Apparently it is possible to use 19s only with a custom wheel spec. I have not explored this in detail, however.
Based on your thoughts, I’m glad that I didn’t spec RAS as I won’t track my car, it’s a daily driver and I have 19” winter wheels/tyres.

I think it was manual, but not totally sure.

I could go on and on but won't. It's up to the reader to decide on the value exchange provided by an article like this one...
Can someone post the article please? What was the conclusion ?

Here's the conclusion:



Der Carrera ist schneller als der andere Scheiß um die Rundenzeiten in Hockenheim

K997, there have been a bunch of comparisons recently but I think shing was referring to the recent article in Excellence, comparing the T to the Cayman GTS.

I ended up with a T without RAS. This is my first 911, and I won't track much (if ever). I think the handling is telekinetic even without RAS.

Thanks vtrick ... bit of ridiculous article and conclusion IMO. Not that the 718GTS isn't a good car, but very odd way of describing the comparison and conclusion.

Waiting on my registration to come in the mail. Applied Wolf's Nano Coat to all windows tonight.

Heading to Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and Cabot's Trail this Sunday in the T.
