Default GT3RS 4.0 and 3.8 side by side

Two of Porsche's finest side by side in Carlsbad last weekend. The last of the analog 911s? Both beauties! Mine is the 3.8 which, as I am sure other RS owners would agree, handles better and sounds better with age. Both of these are driven and not garage queens.

Maaan...you guys are lucky driving these beauties!
With the total flop the 991GT3 turned out to be,I'll never get my hands on one!
I bet you guys that sold theirs are busting their nuts with a hammer...

And probably because he is a Brit the spelling in Europe is Litre. :-) I have never met an RS I didn't like nice shot of your 4 Liter

Yes, that is mine. I saw yours recently too. We live in the Carlsbad area. I am a journalist for Total 911 magazine. Would be interested in taking a few photos of your car. In fact, in the latest edition of Total 911 I wrote a 9 page feature on the gen 1 and gen 2 997 GT3RS..
