Default GT3 RS.2 ordered.

Not sure about the dodgy graphics, though

I am going to try for Riviera blue/black trim. No contrast color on the front. No decals. Dynamic engine mounts/pcm/lightweight battery/body color interior metal/centerlocks. No ceramics. Euro delivery.

Not sure if they will do it but lots of negative comments everywhere today on the color options.

That huge GT3RS on the flank is not wonderful. Car itself is great, much more diffrentiated from standard GT3. Should be a blast to drive.

Ronan, congrats on the new car!

Any confirmation on how many of the cool euro options we get this time around? Are we getting the full monty GT3RS or did they take out certain things?
Any reason for not going with the ceramics (track reliability issues?)?

Been there...done that. They're very cool, but not DIY friendly for people in a rush.

The graphics are a definite no. Ceramics are expensive and I don't track all that much. The new larger brakes are reputed to be superb anyway. I don't mind bright colors,(obviously) but these are not good. Possibly the white/gold, but will def try PTS.

Those central locking wheels will make tire changes a wee bit difficult if you don't have the proper equipment.

The good news is dealers should charge less for tire changes, since they can be completed much more quickly

Call me the odd-man-out, but I actually prefer these decals to the ones on the current GT3 RS. Not crazy about the practically-fluorescent red...

Graphics aside that car looks incredible. I love the rear wing. The front with the mesh grills was a great functional improvement.

The graphics aren't my cup of tea but a sweet car with or without.

Does it come in "green with envy"?
