haha def not. I’ll prob daily it sometimes, not all the time cause I got my first DD ever. A Camry! I daily drove my 7.1gt3 for 18 months and I do all my cars.
will see canyon drives and track days in fall and winter.

my best was 1:54:3 in my 997.1gt3

Nothing better than a Camry for floating around town. Worrying about stupid driver's all a thing of the past. LA is crazy town and I don't venture into the city unless absolutely necessary.

My son was T boned two weeks ago in his Gen 1 Tacoma Prerunner Double cab. A classic truck and the guy who hit him ran. Pasadena Police closed the case as it's not a top priority. I'm livid about it but what can I do. Truck was totaled by the insurance company a few days ago.

I think this was my friend's old car. I've driven and it was well-sorted. Was this on BaT last year?

At this point, I won't drive anything I value in LA. Drivers seem to be worse now. Crime is rampant and the police will not respond to accidents.

jeez, I need to sack up and bring my times down - it's going to be fun to see how much more time you squeeze out with the 3.8RS, you'll be one of few in NA running the RS, I'd reckon it's just a handful of cars at this point that still see the track. I don't know anyone tracking the .2 RS locally and DD RS in LA, seems a bit scary depending on location.

Alright Sam, subscribed for a comparison post! I'd be most curious to hear your impressions in straight line speed compared to your modded 3.6 with the shorter R&P. When I have driven .2 rs cars, I felt like a good part of the difference in grunt was owing to the shorter gearing, which yielded a pretty big seat of the pants difference!

Totally epic car. And the best color combo (imho). This is the spec I would do if I got one. Huge Congrats (btw, your old M&M exhaust is still hanging in their on my 996!)

if you can’t enjoy driving it why have it.
I don’t get it. I like using them more often or I’m like why do I pay for this **** to sit and not be used

yeah maybe a bit more out of the top end. Feels about same power once I did gears in my 997.1gt3.
I’d say low down torque and response feels same now. This prob has a bit more top end but nothing i notice. Not like hopping into a 991.2gt3 motor.
