Enjoy this beauty!
Interesting... was your 991 RS fully run in?

Congratulations! It looks fantastic! I bought mine brand-new in 2011 and I love this car more and more each day. I have over 20K miles on it and never had one issue with it. It loves to be driven. I like my 991 GT3 but it doesn't make me smile like my 997.2 RS. My RS has soul. If one ever had to go... it would not be my RS. Enjoy!

Would change to steel to be able to track.

I just feel that my .2 turbo can take the place of my 991 GT3. Of course, the 1 GT3 is the carto have but I can buy one again anytime. Just took the opportunity and I am not sorry for the change. This car is amazing. I would take a pic of the family once ,y SCUD comes back from service.

Default Family Pic

Had a family pic while the SCUD is having a $3000 oil change. I am thinking about leaving the Pcars here and putting the SCUD on my other garage,
what do you think?

After a week of ownership, my observation:

1. It is more comfortable than my 991 GT3. Ride is not stiff or harder.
2. I like the manual tranny. Compared with my .1 TT,Shifting is more precise, I like the click when you put on proper gears.
3. I love the sound of the engine. Nothing artificial, just pure mechanical valves and bearings. Like a hotrod when on neutral.

4.. What really surprised me, and this is for those that have a 991 gt3 CF bucket seats, the RS CF seats are more comfortable. proper inclination and curvature is not too bent forward. I can actually drive this one on longer trips than the GT3, unless on a traffic.
