Default Joining the 997.2 GT3 RS club

Been looking for a 997.2 GT3 RS to add to my garage. The 4.0 is unobtanium so the 3.8 RS is the next best option and with only 1,500 made, I think they are a bit under priced at the moment and have a lot of upside left.

This week, I found my ideal car. White and red. Low mileage and a reasonable price. Hope to close the deal this week.

Awesome. Agree with your assessment.

As Ilko mentions white is second fastest in the wider body cars. Fastest in the narrow body.

can't agree more with the color scheme!

Congrats to the OP. While you can't go wrong with any RS, the 997.2 RS (with the exception of 4.0), is the best and last of the tactile GT cars. The car just has so much character that one can enjoy equally flat out on a track or just putting around on back roads.

Nothing really. Just leaving it as it is. Will drive it a bit but not a lot as I have a Macan Turbo as my DD....and it will have to share duties with my 991 GT3, 991 GTS, 964 RS, M2 and my incoming GT3.2 and AMG GTR.

At a minimum you need a sharkwerks bypass to wake up the notes. Congrats and after you spend some time behind the wheel please give us some feedback.
