Re: 991 GT3 RS
olli:Hi Peter,
all the negatives have been related to admin and service issues like the lengthy and bumpy road to ownership and delivery, the recent recall (change of spark plugs and coils), etc.
All the positives have been related directly to the car itself. While it is definitely not the fastest car in a straight line I have ever owned or driven, there is just no comparison to the engine sound "drama" in the higher revv range above 5000 rpm. Plus the grip level, turn-in precision and the overall handling agility are truly amazing and enjoyable. IMO the RS shrugs off long track days like no other street-legal car.
Were it not for the rather ostentatious rear wing, it would even be a great stealthy race car-turned DD, given its excellent manners (almost completely normal 911 type usability, with PDK in auto mode and all settings in normal) in real world driving situations. As always, the one thing you would miss if you have ever owned a TT/TTS is the latters higher torque, but that is the nature of the N/A beast.
So, overall, I would rate it at least 9 out of 10.
sounds excellent olli. i am really very much looking forward to the delivery of the car in late april. i was not fully convinced of the 488GTB and the confirmation of the RS slot was a wonderful and totally unexpected surprise.
still agonizing about the color choice. my wife wants white but i really like GT silver though. if we go white (we most likely will given how those things are decided in our family usually:::))) i'll put some decals on. after all, with that rear wing there is no hiding anyway:::)))
