Default 2011 GT3 RS hits the track and shines

Not sure how many Rennlisters have had a chance to really work the RS on the track. All I can say is WOW, what a beast. I had the GMG Rollbar installed along with a set of Schroth Harnesses. Other than that, bone stock. The car is super quick and the revs just build forever. So far I've run Monticello Motor Club, Limerock and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. All 3 tracks tested the RS in unique ways and she passed all tests with flying colors. Top Speed was 154 mph on the long straight at Monticello. I'm sure I could hit 160mph, but I chickened out. The 90 degree right hander at the end of the straight comes up awful quick, but with PCCB's I still had plenty of brake left. I just couldn't get myself to keep the foot to the floor for a few more seconds. Anyways, just wanted to say that the car is everything it's designed to be and more.

Next is Watkins Glen in three weeks.

+1

3000 miles so far, daily driver and so far 6 track days; PBIR, Sebring, Road ATL. OEM roll bar and Schroths, otherwise stock and perfect!

Sebring again in August and September, maybe Roebling Road, VIR, Barber in the fall, Homestead I'll catch in the winter sometime I guess and Daytona is closed for repaving.

That's the car. It was a decent event. Not my favorite track, but great people and the weather was kind to us.

PCA NER at the end of August. I think you ran your car when I was at Monticello with my 2010 GT3 back in June. I ran the 2011 GT3 RS at Monticello again in July with the Ferrari Club.

Ahhhh yes! I remember you. If I got this right I was running out on track with your friend. He was hard to keep up with. Great bunch of guys! I won't see you at the August Glen event, but am sure we will cross paths again! Until then

I've had mine 6 weeks and have also done Monticello and Watkins Glen. Superb at the both.
