Here's what ChatGPT says. This technology is crazy ...

is the new porsche 992 gt3rs a good car as a road-only car?

The new Porsche 992 GT3 RS is an exceptional performance car with a racing pedigree, specifically designed and engineered for track use. While it is certainly possible to drive the GT3 RS on the road, it may not be the ideal choice for a road-only car.

The GT3 RS is optimized for track performance, which means it has a very firm suspension setup, which can make the ride quite harsh on uneven surfaces. Additionally, it has a lot of aerodynamic features, such as the large rear wing, which can produce a lot of wind noise at high speeds.

Moreover, the GT3 RS is equipped with a very high-performance engine that produces a lot of power, but it also requires high revs to deliver that power. This means that the engine can be quite loud and aggressive-sounding, which may not be ideal for driving on public roads.

That being said, if you're an experienced and enthusiastic driver who enjoys pushing a car to its limits, and you're willing to deal with the potential downsides of a car that's optimized for track performance, then the GT3 RS can certainly be a thrilling and rewarding car to drive on the road. However, if you're looking for a more comfortable, refined, and practical road car, there may be better options available.

how does it compare with other available cars as a track car?

The Porsche 992 GT3 RS is one of the most capable and high-performance track cars available on the market today. Here are some comparisons with other notable track cars:

1. Lamborghini Huracan Performante: The Huracan Performante is a fierce competitor to the GT3 RS. It has similar power output and performance figures and is also designed specifically for track use. However, the Performante is a bit heavier than the GT3 RS, which can affect its agility and handling.
   
2. Ferrari 488 Pista: The Ferrari 488 Pista is another high-performance track-focused car that competes with the GT3 RS. It has a more powerful engine and is faster in a straight line. However, the GT3 RS has a more advanced and sophisticated suspension setup, which gives it an edge in terms of handling and agility.
   
3. McLaren 765LT: The 765LT is one of McLaren's most focused and high-performance cars, designed for track use. It has a more powerful engine and is faster in a straight line than the GT3 RS. However, the GT3 RS has a more advanced and sophisticated aerodynamic package, which gives it an edge in terms of downforce and cornering grip.
   

Overall, the Porsche 992 GT3 RS is a highly capable and competitive track car that can hold its own against some of the best performance cars in the world. Its advanced suspension and aerodynamic features, combined with its high-revving engine and lightweight construction, make it an excellent choice for track enthusiasts who want the ultimate driving experience.

 

Agree, but its a big change historically, they always provide cars for road tests. Part of the aura of the brand; hence I think its a bit strange

 

Definitely a big change. Looks like Porsche pulled out the stops to make this the best track car they can, while keeping it street legal and not putting a more powerful engine in it (which I think the next GT2RS will do). I admire Porsche for creating this relatively uncompromised car.

 

little exhausted from all the track vs street car
track focused car
maybe it's my poor English
all sounds much like marketing
short of a cup car, its not a track car in my mind.
I didnt think so until I drove cup car
after that I Neve rdriven another street plated car on track. it's not the same.

firm suspensions?
again that's personal.
I put a pate on my cup car and dive to work in suit.
it was a little firm, but I was fine.
mind you, this is down town SF. bad traffic bad road bad drive bad parking bad hills.

YMMV

 

porsche has not produced any special cars. they are all just cars.

 

Bottom line is that every car is designed to be better for some uses than others. Porsche has been clear about what this car was designed for: driving on the track, but not racing, while being street legal. Yes, you can drive it on the road, but that’s not what it was optimized for.

Few people would say that a cup car is a good road car, or a stock Camry is a good car for track days.

 

Road talk seems ridiculous. Car is fine on the street. Either driving to C&C or to Sebring. Its fine.

 

You’ve driven it?

 

You are a broken record. Mooty owns and has driven a ton of RS’s. Me too. It’s subjective.

 

Blame ipsit, he summoned me from the dead.

What we like is subjective, but cars are also objectively different. When Porsche sits down to design a car, they have intended uses in mind. That’s why they have so many variants of the 911.

Mooty was an architect and knows what a ‘program’ is. I’m an engineer and have designed a lot of stuff - designers always have design goals. But yes, you can use a spoon for cutting and a knife for spooning, if you really want to.

 

Car sucks on the road, I just got back from a test drive.

I went over a damn bump on the road and it didn't feel like my Rolls Royce Ghost.

Thanks and I'll be here all day.

 

the car has already been extensively tested on road in Germany 3!!!! months ago and it is perfectly fine.
So no big conspiracy going on here. Here’s the link in German

 

^ Smooth German roads. Every car is fine on smooth roads (tracks are smooth roads), the test is mediocre and bad roads.

 

Why the f*ck does anyone care how it drives, I only care that it’s got a bigger wing than my neighbors car and that all the teenage boys are going to drool over me every time I take it to cars and coffee. I also hope they fixed the cup holder for my 48oz Diet Coke.
