Default the problem when you own a 997 GT3 RS 4.0

... is what you can't expect more with an another car. So, you can't never be excited to get a brand new one !

Yeah, I think that's the biggest problem. It truly is the last of the beast, and there won't be one like this. I wish I could have one to own forever...

Not everyone can afford to have 5 Porsches (maybe 10? More? Who knows with you lol) at the same time Mooty...

Ha. I saw Bob's writeup of its recent detail. Kudos for getting it dirty then properly getting it perfect again

Only a handful of 4.0L owners have really driven them throughout their ownership.

Seeing Mooty and Trakcar enjoy their RS4.0L makes me wish I ordered one when i had the chance.
