This one is Mr. Cuatro Punto Cero testing his amazing brakes in traffic at T16.
The stock 4.0RS brake pads and Michelin Cup N1 slicks are a great combo.

This one chasing 4.0, until Diasio jumps in and I let go, don't like playing with the Diasio, 1,200 lbs and better acceleration than a 2012 GT3 Cup.
So, I settle to chase Izzone (The T7 broom)

Michelin slicks are fast.
I'm not too sure of the claimed 500Hp in the 4.0, it wasn't pulling as hard as I would have expected. The higher exit speeds helped by the nice grip on the slicks made it run at higher speeds on the straights, I don't think it would pull that hard on RA1 given identical exit speeds as the 3.8RS.
I like it a lot, best GT3 ever made, but overpriced for the performance it gives.
Now, if Mr Cuatro Punto Cero could share his AiM Solo DL data, I could run some nice comparisons.
The few times I ran behind 4.0 in the FIAT, the FIAT would lose to it exiting T16 or T17 (grip and aero), then gain on it by the end of each straight.
For a car that is supposedly 4 secs faster at Sebring than the FIAT, and 12 secs faster at the Nurburgring, I'm not that impressed.
The GT2 RS is definitely the ultimate 911, but engine sound is boring.
The 4.0 RS is the perfect GT3, at $150k, not $200k+.

I agree that they're overpriced. Of course I think a lot of stuff is overpriced but nobody seems to listen. Perhaps sanity will prevail once Helicopter Ben takes away the punch bowl but I'm not holding my breath.

He brake-checked you in a DE session?!
A local guy I know supports the west coast Ferrari Challenge cars and he tells me both the 430 and 458 are pretty tough and durable to track. Another friend tracks with me at our SCCA events in his 430 and he seems to be problem free as well as fast. On cold mornings we would huddle around his engine to keep warm in the paddock...lol. No doubt they sound fantastic on track as well.
