You would know. For guys like me that go to Sebring rather than live at Sebring, I can tell you letting the car do its thing is faster!

I dunno, try short shifting out of T17 and into T1 and roll a bit more speed with foot on the floor while bouncing all over the place is easier for me. Easy to wack the lever right before T17 and back after T1.

Might even give you the best of both worlds

The 2RS at 700hp when the 918 has 900hp - these cars are well engineered it's the 1000 hp Ford GT's Nitrous super charged and others that are dangerous.

700 hp is the league minimum at this level.

The 918 weighs 500lbs more than the 2RS and needs the power. And the 918 only makes 608hp on the gas engine. The GT2RS is going to be very fast and as everyone knows Porsches are the best at making the most of their "Rated" horsepower.

I think the same way, i put the 3RS in sport and let the angels sing and the magic happen as i destroy 98% of whats on the road!! Paddles are for looks and a way to change it up!! But your 100% correct, not necessary.

Cool, I'll try that, thanks. I'll probably be in my Mexico Blue RS and if I see a purple RS I'll come say hello.

That is more a matter of turning too many nannies off and then stepping on it. M4s look about the same when you do this.

Not the best looking Porsche, for sure. Much rice. Hopefully its performance will take the owners' attention elsewhere.

They just fixed my GT3, so I'll probably see you in CA. My wife's Cayenne got t-boned last week, so I was 3 for 3 broken Porsches for a few days - weird luck.
