Drove the car at Texas World Speedway this weekend.

It's very difficult not to compare to a GT3 or RS, the GTS was never built to be one, but that is all I have to go against. That said, the car handles really well, I don't care for the low end 3rd gear torque there is hardly any, the brakes needs higher temp brake pads, the steering is not as reactive as a GT3 because it really a souped up GT car that is fun on track. The wind resonance in the cabin around 120 mph is awful; to alleviate it I tilted the sunroof open. It doesn’t give that visceral feel of my last RS. Do I have any regrets in buying it? No, it's like going from dating a wild titty dancer who keeps you awake all night and then sends you to work with blood shot eyes totally worn out to a HR Director, who's intelligent with no drama, someone you could introduce to your mother and who will send you to work rested after a good night’s sleep. It will do fine for now or until a new track is built and I like driving it, maybe some sticky tires would help, I will never be as fast as I was in the RS.

high temp pads would ruin the car with all the squeal

Like it for what it is. There is a 991 GT3 if you wan the hot rod and not the comfort.

Not PFC pads, ran them on the RS for 2 years.

I only drive cars with 3 pedals.
