Here's an article on it: https://www.racefans.net/2007/03/22/...heel-steering/

I would think that rear wheel steering in 1993 is much different than in 2023 even if it's Formula 1. I do check the box myself though, but could live without it as well.

Could you check the Race Tex Steering Wheel?

Keep in mind that RAS does nothing (no rear steering) between 39 and 51mph (I believe those are the numbers). Also, as speed approaches 39mph the RAS steering angle decreases. I do not know the gradient of decrease, but it is not a full cutover max rear steer to none at 39mph. I go back and forth on RAS seemingly every few days - now I am fairly certain I will not select RAS in favor of simplicity and less computer between me and the road. I mentioned before my 991 T did not have RAS and I never thought it needed to turn better - but then again I don't know what I was missing. No doubt RAS improves lap times, just like PDK.

Also, does RAS complicate any future suspension modifications or changes? Can you do full rear camber adjustments with RAS?

Sometimes I wonder how RAS will be seen on these cars in 20 or 30 years. I'm old enough to recall the early rear steer systems on some of the Japanese cars in the 80s/90s. While advanced at the time, now those are seen as crude systems that you might not want to maintain or repair and did not add a lot to the driving experience.

Twice in the last year while mid corner I felt like I was about to lose the rear. Scary feeling and one time it was near or on a bump or expansion joint so it could have been compounded, but I took those corners faster in my 991.2T and never had that sensation. I'm not in the habit of trying to convince people either way and have held back saying anything in this thread but it's definitely not for me. Lastly my interpretation of the T is a pure driving machine. I'm leaving off as many nannies as I can. To me RAS is extra cost, extra weight, another thing that can go wrong, and it dilutes the driving experience. Again, my thoughts, not hating on anyone that wants it.

I immediately checked the RAS box for my 991.2 T using the same logic as Adam, and raised by some reviewers — that is, if it’s included on the GT3, then you need to add it on the Carrera. But I’m now starting to reconsider this line of reasoning for my 992 T. Other than full leather, I don’t have anything that adds weight; and I have multiple items that reduce weight. I’m now leaning toward skipping RAS and sticking with a focus on lighter without the additional RAS nanny.



While I see arguments for adding and skipping, I always thought the real benefit of RAS was track times — it’s surely not needed for road driving and I don’t care about park turning — so I found this post by Barkat03 interesting.

Oh, one more "con" is that I plan to put the PORSCHE motorsport over the top stripe on the car. If I get the roof, I would only put the strip on the hood I guess, especially since I want to get a stripe custom made to match the agate gray door stripe.
