Picked mine up this morning.

Can't really add to JFT's comments.

Expected to handle like a go kart, sound fabulous with acceptable ride but surprised by just how good gearbox is and forgotten just how wonderful the ceramics are. By far the best car I've driven and much better than my 996 GT3.

No gripes at all but would I change spec?

Should have gone for thicker steering wheel and coloured rear centre console.

Also not sure about colour scheme but don't know what else I'd have gone for. Everybody thinks looks stunning but all prefer look of my old red GT3.

The orange bits, whilst dramatic, don't make the car a beauty. Hopefully painting the wheels black will tone it down.

The wheel arch to tyre clearance much greater than my GT3?

Great looking cars guys but then I'm biased as well.

Is it just me, but does the option charge for orange make you like black? An orange Porsche will be forever identified as a 2007 RS, just like white/red and white/blue for prior years' RSs.

I think Orange or Green will be forever be identified as a 997 GT3 RS just like the white/red or the White/ Blue 996 GT3 RS. Jon in Delaware
