I know two people that have them now. Both really like their cars. One has had some electrical issues (his was a super early release). The other has been fine.
The only thing I did notice was that it was a little quiet at WOT. Can they be made a little noisier yet?

SportAuto in Germany ran the SuperTest already with this car. On the wind tunnel it generated more downforce than every flavor of 997 GT car.
In their Nurburgring lap times this is what they got (Driver: Horst Von Saurma), these are their actual lap times, not factory published lap times. Same driver with hundreds of laps around the Ring:
GT2 RS: 7:24
MP4-12C: 7:28
GT3 RS 4.0: 7:30
Carrera GT 7:32
GT3 RS 3.8: 7:33
997 GT2: 7:33

Here is a link to all their SuperTests through the years, lots of useful information, notice what they found on the MPSC tires in the 3.8RS compared to the standard GT3 3.8 tires, and how that explains the gigantic difference in lap times. The GT3 3.8 and 3.8RS are closer in performance when equipped with similar tires than what the factory claims. ==>http://www.sportauto.de/rundenzeiten...e-3649995.html

Congradulations. Thanks for sharing. Use it well and good health. I look forward to hearing your comparisons to the other great cars you have owned (how does it stack up to the CGT?)
