As you start exploring the RS beyond 8/10, may be a good idea to pick a track corner with a safe run-off then purposefully induce over-steer (by lifting or braking) at a safe speed, preferably on slippery tires (towards the end of a session) and try to reel it back in line. Even better to do this on a skid-pad or on a large, smooth, and safe area (empty parking lot). The idea is to learn the car's limits on your own terms -- not at the time and place of the car's choosing.

Congrats, and post pics!

I like the sound of that!

All I have for now are pics at Richards place. You can check out the link on my first post. Will take some more shots this week and post them.

Thank you Brendan. Took a lot of patience and I had to be quick. The crazy prices have caused a stir in the market. I found a nice 2010 a few months back. It was on AutoTrader for about 1 hour at an amazing price. I was on the phone putting a deposit when the salesman said he just got word the car already had a deposit on it. The salesman was kind of shocked too...

My wife is really glad she no longer has to hear me talk about such stuff.. lol. BUT, I'm sure I'll find something else to dream about.. maybe a 991RS. ha!

@madmurdock -- Congrats! I've been following Richard's FB page and personal referrals have said his shop is top notch. Will be bringing my car for an evaluation soon as well.

Richard's set up is top notch. Give him a call and set up an appointment. They took amazing care of me and will do the same for you. I will be dropping my car off around mid Feburary.

Larry Kosilla from AmmoNYC also mentions Richard at least a dozen times in his latest video. I think he refers to Richard as a master at paint touch-up and detail. I could not agree more.

Just saw the FB pics. RS looks stunning, and brand new. Congrats on a great purchase!

Come on out!
Screw SOW, you should come out to Buttonwillow and Chuckwalla. Either with PCA, POC, BMW CCA, and/or Speed Ventures.

Congrats on the purchase. Yes, please indeed be careful. These cars don't tolerate any foolishness especially with SC/TC turned off. One second it will understeer, the next one it will oversteer and you'll end up on the grass...

The platform of a 911 is really different and takes a bit of time to get adjusted, but if you can drive a 911 fast any other car comes easier. Good luck and be safe!

PS: We need pics!!!
