Default The three cousins and one is my car. new pix.

My car came in yesterday and all is good in the world (My world). In addition the RS and the other GT3 were with it .All were sold by the same sales rep (Kirk Gilday, Rusnak Pasadena). I was not able to pick the car up until today, and let me tell you the wait was just oh so hard. I put 160 miles on it in the middle of LA in the afternoon, go figure that out. I have to say this is the pinnacle of cars and it’s not even broken in yet, I also might be a bit biased. The whole process was fantastic and I can’t say enough good things about Kirk. Here are some pre PDI pictures and I will have some clean car ones soon. The car already needs to be washed.

Congratulations on the GT3!

There's a white RS in the first picture. First car on the right.

Porsche sales people around the country are spitting their gins and tonic on their keyboards ...

That's a helluva line-up.

It would be fantastic and a very rare opportunity to get a white GT3 next to a white RS and take photos to compare the width of that rump visually, to look at the detail around the engine deck-lid and the spoiler proportions as well as to compare the rear suspension (just poking a camera behind the rear wheels is a great way to get good photos of the details, but getting the cars while they're on the hoists for the PDI would be really great.)

We'll have a few cars together here in the Bay Area pretty soon, but no white RS (AFAIK) so the visual comparison will be lacking.

I would have taken the pictures that way but the wall was there. Oh and my car was there and I was drooling a bit....

Don't downsize. Rennlist requires very small files.
Better to use a free photo hosting site or Picasa to publish the full high resolution images.
Please! : )

And nice work with those first pics. I've only seen an orange and a green, but the RS hides the extra width. I've seen Carrera 2 and 4 side by side in black and the same with a pair of grey Cabrios but the extra "va va va voom" of the wide body is subtle, at least to my eye. Still, in some hips, wider is definitely better ...

If you ask the tech doing the PDI and the sales type, maybe it's not to late to get a few good angles on that white RS next to yours.
