    GT3SM,

    what do you think of the car compared to your "old" 996GT3?

    Re: RS full silver

    Fantastic car!! The yellow pccb-callipers + seatbelts + the other yellow details is on the steering-wheel and the tachometer is pure porn in combination...

    Even though I like it without all the stripes I would have had the badge on the back with GT3 RS... but that's just my two cents

    Hope to see this car on the ring in the spring

    Re: RS full silver

    I would keep the badge on the back and probably go for white or black instead of silver!! (not so sure about wheels , they do look best in silver!)
    congrats on the stunning car

    Re: RS full silver

    Thanks a lot. The car came with orange badge on its back; a black unit should delivered to me in the next days. Otherwise I drove the car for few miles only and outside a track, really cannot come to any serious kind of comparison; a silly answer could be that the care is definitely nicer and has greater capability of clearing the traffic in front of you. I could feel the presence of the lsd already a quite good number of times, this suggest to me the stuff has a rather different set up compared to gt3mk2 whose lsd was silent exception made when driving the car in narrow corners. The engine shows substantially more torque at low rpm although I still ignore how does it run above 4000 rpm. The single mass flywheel presence is noticeable if you really want to discover it.The steering is light and precise but those qualities were already served by older model. As a conclusion (after 30 miles) I would say that the most enjoable differences for a standard driver could be the presence of sport button and PASM, I like those very, very much.

    Cheers

    I think this is the best looking 997 I have ever seen
    Thank you for posting more, and bigger, pics

    What tires do you have on the car?
    They don't look like the Michelin semi-slicks..

    Absolutely stunning car. My GT3 has just arrived with my dealer and I noticed it too has been fitted with the Pirelli tyre as well. Any comments on their performance over the Michelins? Enjoy !

    THE B-E-S-T PORSCHE EVER I HAVE SEEN, EXCEPT CARRERA GT




    Please!!!!!!!!!

    post more pics!

    I think a 997 gt3 with RS rear wing, has to be exactly the same (more or less ) and even better for your wallet.




    congrats !!!!!

    Exellent choice !

    I've always liked silver, but I think I would replace the decals with black one's and definately replace the 997RS badge on the back........................Nice one !!

    looks great... but one of the reasons I would get an RS is to be able to order it in Orange or Viper Green!!! anyone agree?

    Re: RS full silver

    Marwan, I use to drive cars between Beirut and Chekka; if I were you I wud go for another can irrespectively of the colour, my fresh experience with RS suggests this car goes on flat tarmac only .

    Re: RS full silver

    flat tarmac or not, I'm keeping my 997 C2S cab. for now, especially that I was eyeing an Orange RS... the 'Aoun" factor has ruled out any possibility of me owning an RS with ANY orange stuff on it... hehehe

    Re: RS full silver

    Good heavens, that's a beauty. The combination of the supreme sportyness of the RS and the stylish silver colour, without screaming RS stickers, is rather good taste IMO. Must be heaven on earth to track that car. Good luck with it
