Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022
I paid a premium but not the crazy $125,000; $150,000 markups which are standard in the US. I decided to pay the markup because this may be the last NA GT model. Also, It is certain that Porsche will increase the prices of their models probably this summer. GT models will get the highest increase in an attempt by Porsche to stop the insane US dealer markups on these cars.
The reality is I can justify the purchase now until I die I still overpaid for the car.
I plan to make the most of it by tracking it.

Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022
One has to pay what it takes. As long as it gives you the joy you want, then it is all worth it.
I am so happy to read you will take it to the track 
Only there will you be able to fully enjoy its potential. Driving it only on the roads would be missing something.

Whoopsy:That wing is an even bigger hazard in the garage when walking around it.
Just use it properly…

The wing is a bit of a visual thing, it is narrower than the body but the issue is from a human eye perspective looking down from the back, it looks wider ….
apparently it drives better than a GT3 on the street….
well done nberry, great spec and this wheels look awesome in real life

Only when one switches the dampers to their softest settings. Bone stock it's punishing, on par with the GT2RS.

nberry:After considerable reflection and not getting any younger, I decided to pull the trigger. It is a June build delivery in mid-August.
Congrats, Nick. 
Surely a great car to visit Starbucks in. You can use the rear wing as a tray table, you can even order food and have enough room for it.

Ferdie:Porker:Came across one in the wild last weekend, when taking the 996 out of hibernation.
The size difference is quite striking, considering they are both from the water-cooled era.
And there are those that keep asking for a Panamera coupé!

Size of the wheels especially.

Yes, indeed. Especially the wheels and the rear quarter panel are far more massive than on the 996.
Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022
Porker:I wonder how much is between them on the scales. Less than looks suggest, I think.
Yeah, Porsche has done an admirable job of keeping weight gains tiny, despite large size increase, Imagine how light they'd be if te 992 and 996 were sane size (or even aircooled size).

Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022
My God, Frank, what a beauty your RS is. I still remember fondly visiting the Porsche days on Spa, together with Pieter (944guy) from Flat-6.net, where we first saw the 996 rs in the wild. Amazing to behold. There was a Swiss/French guy Michael ("Mouse") with his red/white rs 2.7 replica which was amazing as well... oh those days! :-)
