Bought a 2010 RS driver.

So, I flew out to Chicago, and drove it back to NJ. 871 miles over two days.

Other than a freak Thunderstorm in Toledo, and rain all across Pennsylvania (good thing the sport cups had lots of tread) - was an epic journey.

So much improved over 3.6.

This is heroic and monumental .. Well done and congrats on acquiring one of the best modern yet so old school automobile.

Congrats! Did you have a 997.1 GT3 prior?

pissedpuppy

yes, would love to hear your comparo to the 3.6L as I'm consdiering the same move myself (from MY08 GT3)

Yes, I had a 2007 RS. Sport seats red brakes.

The bump in HP and TQ is spot on. Downforce and suspension improvements really help at speed.

997.1 was a bit under-powered and loose/twitchy at speed w/ the hammer down.

Had a turbo in between which was/is a torque sledgehammer - so its hard to recall exact differences.

In short, vastly improved over 997.1 GT3/RS

Congrats and kudos. Finally someone using the car for its intended purpose and not driving it 10 miles to and from C&C. Enjoy it.

JG 996T

Can’t take em with you. Might as well enjoy the ride.

Yes Barrington. Kind of in suburbs, like 3 or 4 marks side by side.

Funny, picture from 2016 at Manhattan Motorcars - my car was the white turbo. It augured well.

Loving the RS.

Congrats and enjoy in good health!
I love the 997.2 3.8 RS. I also agree with your comparison between the 3.8 and 3.6 RS.
