You have to know what the road conditions EVO were dealing with before you come to a conclusion. CA has terrible road quality and it will bring out deficiencies in suspension quite quickly. PASM is fine, even great on better/smooth quality roads.

I own a gt3 and have tracked 992 RS and that’s the hugest pile of bull**** I;ve read from evo in a while.

Aren't road manners subjective? Geography/road quality and personal tolerances of suspension stiffness play a role. I daily the 992 Touring with LWB and a manual and I find it perfectly acceptable for a street car. I've read/seen from many reviews of the 3RS that is can be more compliant than the GT3 if everything is dialed down. I'll find out in 60 days

If it’s only good on excellent pavement, then it’s not that good as a road car. A 720 is 10/10 road car. 3RS is not. Gt3 is not. Fantastic on track, no question. Love them. There is simply no world in which I’d run either in the hills or b road bombing over either a McLaren, a gt4, or a tts. Sorry. The suspension lacks range and is under damped. Can’t be a driver’s car if I can’t do some hills. The. End.

Traded GT3 in today. Collected my RS.

Stock settings drives just as compliantly to the GT3 in my experience.

So what you're saying is the ST Definitely isnt a drivers car? I mean if the 3RS suspension is too stiff, then the ST Definitely will be too much for the average roads... being it's identically tuned when the 3rs is turned all the way down.

AlexCeres

Haven’t driven an S/T, but all the folks who have claim it is tuned differently and is more compliant despite using the same springs. Maybe it is. I wasn’t going to pay $200k adm to find out, so, yeah the S/T isn’t the drivers car for me.

The gt3 / gt3rs suspension is amazing on track, and it’s amazing at $200k. The gt3rs really is mind blowing on track. At msrp. It is not amazing on roads at $400k. The folks claiming it’s this fantastic drivers car even on B roads all sound either (1) paid for influencers or (2) single marque fan boys.

yes it's great on street

have gt4, gt4rs, Senna and rs in grade.
yes rs is oversprung on low frequency bump and compression. but high speed bump compress is fine on street or canyon. u can hammer it on canyon, it's a bit wide. but it flies.

couple hundred miles on ST. it's hard to describe. its not soft but is' tuned differently and more relaxed.
the best way to describe it for me is that it's a Camry.
u just drive
no thinking
it works
it's a great DD

for me, on Weeknd carving, I woudl take RS or GT3 over ST any day.
for driving DD I take ST.
ST is wife
RS is bitch you slap
need both
but most of the time, I just do the wife. bc bitch takes too much work and I am getting old

Compression isn't really the issue on the Cayman platform, it is more a lack of rebound damping, especially on the larger bumps at speed.

My sentiments exactly. Slower speeds with undulating, uneven pavement makes me nauseated with all of the front to back rocking motion in the 992 3RS.

If I have to drive around town in a 3RS, I will take my 991.1 every time.
On the track, the opposite. New RS is so much better (but maybe less exciting).
Good reason to have both.

Agreed.
This thread was nothing more than click "bait".

After watching about three minutes of it. I thought it got painful,
Nothing that hasn’t been said 100 times before

You have a low tolerance for suspension stiffness in street cars, and that's fine. But subjective.
