     What a beast! Strange thing is that I don't like a red 997 on pictures, but i you see it in the flesh it looks stunning. For some reason red doesn't come across well, it always looks a bit orange. 

    Enjoy the ride!

    Re: My GT2 RS...

    red is definitely very hot... Right up there with White. I wouldn't go for the darker colors even though it would hide the CF parts. I think they should stand out.. it's a GT2 RS! Just epic Mike

    That's a nice looking 911 but the steering wheel is on the wrong side

    Re: My GT2 RS...

    Thanks guys!

    GT2 RS is home! I didn't get to open her up just yet, but from what I could feel the car is really amazing!

    I can't believe how quick it picks up RPMS for a turbocarged car!!
    The brakes are super sharp, by far the most effective out of all the cars in the garage by a long shot.

    The car itself is also very easy to drive. I can drive it like the Carrera if I wanted. The suspension is very firm, but it's quite tolerable.

    The steering is so precise, I can't even describe. Never felt something like it.
    Going to drive it some more and will post more impressions later.

    For now, some photos.
