Default Traded my 992, won’t be gone for long

I became bored with the car when I realized it wasn’t up to the occasional track weekend at the level I wanted it to be at. While my 992 was an excellent daily driver I lusted over 991.2 GT3RS cars for a while and when popped up locally CPO at a reasonable price I had to make the move.

Say hello to my new DD. I’ll be back in a 992 GT3 and Turbo S variant shortly.

Very doable with the 18 way buckets. Car feels the same as the 992 in sport +.

Nice move congrats!!! GT3RS is amazing and I’d imagine LOADS more capable for your track weekends. And in white.... mmmmmm... so good.

... now swap out the orange side markers stat!

That is a good upgrade from the 992. Awesome car, and great specs on that one - love the color!

Was this about the brakes or power of the 992? I know nothing comes close to the GT3RS as a track car though.

A little of both. The 992 with all that power down low makes it a land missile by any stretch of the imagination. My skill level and driving style (coming from all NA cars on track) didn't mesh well and the brakes were just subpar for all that power and speed IMO.

If I am really honest though, I just wanted a damn GT3RS and this was the perfect spec/buy to do so.

Gotta love your honesty - what a great excuse to get a toy like this! Have fun, these cars are sooooo great on the track.
