If you track your Porsche GT car, you're using the car for it's intended purpose, but could still be a poser in various settings, including the track.
It's ok to be poser. We're all posers to some degree in some settings. Subconsciously, we all care about status (and self-esteem) and try to achieve it in one way or another ("I'm smart" "I'm fit" "I look good" "I'm rich" "I have a nice house" "I got a car that's hard to get" "I drive a sports car" "I'm fast on track" "I'm a nice person" "I'm humble" "People like me" etc.).
wow some of you guys really missed the part in bold here, and it showed up as an L
really funny I have to make 'author's notes' for you, but here we go:
I'm being very clear that the GT3RS - as a road only car- is not that much different than a GT3. And in that case, it's not something that reveals itself at legal speed limits. It has a wing that *checks notes* you literally do not need on the street at legal speeds. It does not 'feel' fast like a Revuelto or 750S. Hence, guys are selling their GT3s and getting 750's. They're selling because those cars are faster feeling. People who put bodykits on their 911 Turbos or GTRs are a completely different demographic than the guy at COTA trying to break 2:15 in a GT3.
Cars like a GT3 Touring make more sense as a road car than a GT3RS. I get why there is an appeal there- especially with the cool interiors and manual transmission you can get on a Touring...
But be honest- if you want something just because of how it looks (meaning gigantic wing) or 'have to get the newest greatest thing' then you're not focused on anything about the driving experience...it's just trying to be the first guy with it in your social circle, or keep up with the neighbor etc.
IS THERE A WORD FOR THAT?
Couldn't agree more...hence why my 3RS will primarily be driven to the track, on the track, and back home from the track.
I cant wait for this thread to go back to what it originally was, a place to discuss allocations, manufacturing dates and pts availability.
I never understand people verbalizing their judgements on RL. They surely dont do that in real life? If you see someone taking their GT car only to C&C would you go up to them and say "good sir, you are poser!"?
like a wise man once said, "opinions is like a-holes, everyone has one, it usually stinks and nobody want to see yours"
More allocations (final 992.1) will come and they will be in 50k ADM and under range is my prediction. Now heading out for a long drive in the Touring.

I wouldn't because I will never go to another C&C again.

Why are RS owners who choose not to track their cars insulted by track enthusiasts by using a derogatory moniker? It is not a matter of being thin-skinned but respecting those on the blog to obtain information. Why is that necessary?
More puzzling is a highly respected car dealer and an important contributor to the site pushing the narrative that somehow, if you don't track your RS, you shouldn't have one. And even to make matters worse, he's wondering what to call us.

How about "Porsche Enthusiast".
Just got back from a drive in my 991.2 3RS. You can drive it on the road and might even enjoy it, but it's clearly designed to be a track car, not a road car. I'll be the first to say that. When these kinds of cars are bought and never used for their intended use - the track - people will inevitably make judgments about that. The people who are judged can choose to not care that they're judged and conclude that those are judging just don't 'get it'. When the day comes that I'll no longer be tracking my 3RS, for sure I'll sell it.
