Default My .2 RS has landed

Just in time for the weekend, I got my RS.

Cant believe the difference in driving experience with a 991 GT3.

A dream come true.

Why is it I keep on coming back to a 997 garage?

Well done!! Love that color combo! If you want a set of red tail lights to complete the look, I've got them for you

Congrats. The 997 offers an experience that the 991 just doesn't, can't match. My 991 RS never stood a chance. Sold it after 3 months and happily staying with my older cars.

Enjoy this beauty!

I believe this RS would be one of my keepers. Together with my SCUD.

Amazing how two letters would make a noticeable change.

compared to 991/981 gt's, these are relatively crude tools... but like many crude tools, they require greater commitment, skill, perserverance and finesse from the user to achieve the desired result, and in turn, imparts a greater sense of accomplishment and pride when said result is achieved

Awesome, congrats....she looks great. I've always had a thing for white car, they are the fastest you know. Now go get some clear side markers put on.

Not bad yourself. I guess I am getting older and you are getting younger with your cars.

I hear yah, the clutch is heavy compared with my Turbo but it is easier to drive. The tranny is so different. The short throw shift is perfect.

I may have to wait when she gets her clear bra replaced and then I would replace them. Its on the list.
