Does this imply you would prefer to not repeat information that has been previously shared?

No, I don't have any insider intel. Just saying that this has been discussed extensively in RL and I highly doubt that there won't be a 992.2 GT3 RS. For one thing, Jörg Bergmeister already pretty much said there will be a .2 when the media was getting hot laps in the 1.

Yes, they built the 997.1 C2 and C2S while the C4, C4S and Turbo's were still 996s. This went on in 2005.

Yes, my RS is v290 and waiting...
- V260 "Entry Body Shop" 21 July
- V270 "Exit Production" 26 July
- V280 "Entry CT-Assembly" 26 July
- v290 "Exit CT-Assembly" 05 Sep

Since then...no movement. Dealer and TYD shows V300 "Vehicle Completion" as 29 September. At this point, I believe nothing from Porsche and my dealer hasn't pushed in any of the four delays i've experienced to get info once. My allocation was a 2023 allocation car to be built Mar 2023 and delivered May 2023. Just a waiting game without even so much as a we are sorry your NON CXX, NON PTS car continues to get pushed back while we send other RS's to other dealers and countries. Yet we say thank you and may I have another! Oh well, there are real problems out there and this isn't one of them.

The Pista is a great daily driver but on track it needs bucket seats + better brakes/pads as mentioned by the other person. We sold our Pista for a 765LT and I never looked back. The 765 is a monster.

The Pista would be a fun weekend car that I'd take to the track a few times a year, the GT4RS will see the majority of the track duty.

You will end up going off the track under braking in the pista if you're really pushing it.

The brakes are that bad on a $400k+ Ferrari? Are they ceramic rotors with crappy pads?

My guess, $100k +/- but there will be strealers that ask for $200k+.

The pista on track: is not that light, is really really fast, and literally will experience brake fluid boil/ pad fade.

The brakes are the single weak link on that car- the power is relentless, it's the first Ferrari with 'great' steering. But just as you start to get confident the brakes and tires are getting overheated...which will lead to squiggly corner entry, a lot of corrections, the rear pads grabbing as traction/ESC assist kicks in etc.

Classic ICE MODE. It will happen if you're driving for a lap time.

Where do you look up this data? Is that from the dealer or some online portal?

Sorry to hear the process has been delayed. That’s frustrating when you’re waiting for something so highly anticipated, but it will be amazing when it eventually arrives!

Yikes, had that brake ICE MODE happen on the white 987.2 Cayman S that you see in my avatar when it was in pure stock form going into the sweeper at Buttonwillow. Let's just say that I used the e-brake to not go off in the sweeper as the brake pedal was going to the floor without any braking power.

So the question is, do pads, brake lines, and fluid fix the problem or does a full rotor upgrade need to be done?
