No stick. No go. Didn't want to say it at first, but I guess it's more than clear for most of us. The RS may be very different from the regular GT3. But I ever cared for more power and more speed and the latest and greatest. Life is really short. Enjoy what you like, know what you like and don't let anyone convince you of what to like. I like the 997 GT3s.

Yep

It's hard enough driving a 400 HP car much less 500

I can't wait until I get my hands on any pdk GT3

415 HP or less is more than enough for me. I won't need electronics to help me drive a car with more HP. I don't get the reward I want. I drove the 991 GT3, it revs like a madman, the upshifts are more impressive to me than the downshifts. But, man, it was just point and shoot, really, that was it. It was numbing for my senses. If it's about speed, I wouldn't be interested in the 991 GT3, but the 458 Speciale. That car is magnificent. Yet silly on the street. Everyone talks Nürburgring, try the Hockenheimring. You'll be surprised.

Fixed it for you.

Lots to like in the new RS but I would still take a manual if offered.

Blue GT4 is nice, you may like the real purple...

Maybe with the frosted wheels and uprights on the purple one.. It has that glittery carnival bumper car metallic I hope...

If you see the orange on that pic it looks very orangy compared to the red taillights, some other pictures it looks just red to me.

Best looking gt3 since the orig 997.1 was launched in 07.

Crazy perfect. I love the lack of stickers too.
