Default Got my RS

I wanted an RS when I bought the GT3 and tracking with a buddy with an RS didn't help. I "justified" the change because I was looking for better seats, shorter gearing, better rotors and a little more tire never hurts. Ended up with a Canadian car with 3000km, PCCB, Porsche 1/2 cage, harnesses. Really clean. Only mod so far is an RSS X Pipe.

My initial impressions vs the GT3
-tracks well at speed
-LWFW is amazing for heel and toe blips
-Shorter gearing is brilliant, shifts feel fast with little rev drop

Got it in time for 2 short drives before the snow.

Winter ain't that bad. At least you get to go hang out in your garage and gaze at it whenever you want.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm really happy and yep it's pretty much the best Xmas gift ever! I do head out to the garage to stare at it at least once a day. Here's hoping for a short Toronto winter.

Congrats! Unfortunately, this is going to feel like the longest winter you've ever been through.

Congrats! Good choice, and good that you're keeping busy with little projects like the rennline kit while you wait for spring!
