The .2 with its additional torque it just tears up the entire rpm range on demand(evom headers, 200cell cats, sw bypass)

I am torn between the looks of the .1 (in silver) and the .2 overall. If the .1 was any other color besides silver I would keep the .1 looks, with that said the .1 is going through a .2 update saga with all oem parts.

I picked up a 1-owner 2,000 mile very low option .2RS. It was dropped off last night at my home in Vail, CO. It worked out great as I have just sold this home and building a shop and new home, so I will get a chance to drive cars one at a time to storage.

I drove around 350 miles and tons of fun. My first new Porsche was a '93 RSA, but that lasted one year (RIP). And I have been driving turbo cars since 1993 ('91 Turbo/'01 Turbo/'03 GT2/'07 Turbo/'08 GT2/'09 GT2/'11 GT2RS). I still own most of these cars now.

The .2GT3RS is a lot easier and more fun to drive. I eat humble pie now as the power is just fine. I never looked at these before because of power. (I am not a PDK guy, so I will stick with the old cars)

Many thanks to the King of RS Mooty, and ilko with great information.

Couple of photos from a local Porsche & Coffee by the bay hosted by RSR Garage in Melbourne - by accident we actually have a nice evolution of 911 from early 70s, G, 964, 993, 996 & 997 in one photo
