absent:ESP off?
Tried to "drift"?
"thought" he could handle it?
Btw, looks like we have a $12-14k discount in US on that car, Weissach package just went down to just $18k from over $30k.
The Wiessach package is $18,000 for the 3RS. I couldn't understand why Porsche was charging 2RS owners $30,000 unless the Mag wheels were included.
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.

The farmer:Here’s the latest report on the never ending story about PAGs non German like behavior (production fuck ups....).
April 8th, I received an e-mail letting me know that my car was built, properly checked by Porsche technicians and ready to be shipped. Since the, I learnt it went to the exclusive department. And there it’s been for three weeks now.... So I started to investigate when the car could be expected at my door and now the latest news is:
All GT2’s are due for extra quality controls before being released to the customers?!! VERY strange I would say, since I have at least six friends that have received there’s and they have not been approached that they need any check up. So what the f... is going on???
New predicted arrival of my car is now v23-24 i.e TWO MONTHS after I received the e-mail saying it was ready to be shipped....
Any one of you heard anything about any newly discovered quality problems with the GT2 ?
My car has been stuck in Custom Tailoring for 14 days now. And no, I don't have any special CXX requests. It's a just poor man's black car with red alcantara interior. I have no idea why it's taking that long at custom tailoring. My friend's car, also from the same dealer, was produced on the same day as my car, is now at Emden waiting for transport.
Whoopsy:Don't know. repost the pic from Rennlist.
But that script is easy to apply anyway, so it doesn't really means it's a factory car.
Factory drivers will not have an accident like this, they know how to drive.

Probably another driver who underestimated the power and/or played around with PSM/TC settings.
Hint: On public roads, keep that damned PSM/TC turned on!!!

Did not a Porsche factory driver get killed on the German Autobahn a few years back due to a collision with the barrier?
Not that I want to start an argument, when did I ever, but I don't think that factory drivers are immune to accidents like these. Factory drivers are certainly more skilled and better at assessing the risks than most drivers, but sh*t still happens...

Ice as far as I remember...could be wrong.

Of course but in this case, customer...

Incredible... Porsche should be ashamed. Not even the GT2RS they can do right
Mikla:4 sec difference in 0-300 is embarrassing. True that the RS wing is an anchor, but....
That active wing on the Macs makes a huge difference in straight line. I would expect 992 may address this...

The GT2RS Cd is 0.35 and I have seen 720S quoted at 0.36 also they both top out at 211/212mph which indicates similar drag (yes I know lots of over excited fan boys said the GT2RS was limited and could do 220+ but that is BS)
How does the above fit in with the GT2RS wing creating extra drag (explaining the slower acceleration numbers) if it did surely it would be reflected in the Cd ?
I think the real reason is to do with the 720S power curve compared to the GT2RS, check out the manufacturers full load diagrams, the 720S has over 700PS from 6500rpm to 8000rpm whereas the GT2RS has 612PS at 6000rpm
Put another way the 720 just has a lot more area under the curve......

Good point. I haven’t paid very close attention, but doesn’t the 720S have different driving modes where the wing retracts for max speed like the Bugatti?
