    Re: 991.2 GT3 Touring on tour

    Very good summary and I see where you are coming from, THANKS ! Smiley

    However, I assume you will have a hell of a ride in Hockenheim next week - a GT3 is sooo much suited for this track, envy. Smiley

    Great to see you back in form . Lovely photos , specially the one form our alpine roads ! 

    In a scale of 1 to 10 being the best  , how would you rate the T and the Touring in the '' driving pleasure '' department  and in the '' practicality on public roads '' ?


    --

     

     964 Carrera 4 --  997.2 C2S , -20mm -- 991.2 GT3 RS 

     

    How could you ask such a stupid question ???? Smiley ...he may rate the T so high that I am struggeling even further to make a deal! Smiley (still on the look for a T, however, GTS prices are starting to get lower...tempting...)

    You'll end up with a Touring Smiley

    If I have to rate my last 3 cars for driving pleasure on practicality on public ALPINE roads, this would be my ranking:

    1. 981 Spyder (+open car is great on alpine Roads, -needs a little more power, too long gearing) 8.5 Points

    2. 991.2 Carrera T (+right size auf car, Michelin4s, fuel consumption, torque, -needs better engine sound and more revs)8 Points

    3. 991.2 GT3 Touring (+Power, engine/9.000rpm, racecar-feeling,  -wide car, fuel consumption, ground clearance, Cups in the rain)7.9 Points

    The GT3 is my dream car and it was no mistake to buy it - next week at Hockenheim it will outperfom dramatically both of the former cars.

    But for my alpine tours, the other cars are more suited - the GT3 is a little bit overkill. I wrote it last year after our Spain/France tour - you can  keep up with a GT3RS in a Carrera T on small curvy roads and you have almost the same driving pleasure for 70K€ less.

    So a GT3 and a Carrera T is nonsense for me, therefore I will add to my garage again a used 981 Spyder for open top fun.

    Blueflame

    Interesting .. Now put some 4S on the Touring and you'll be at 8.3  Smiley   I get the overkill , sadly . Not many possibilities on open roads to exploit the 9K rev line ......

    How about the new 718 Sypder with 4.0 flat-six engine?  1554541446878image.gif


    Re: 991.2 GT3 Touring on tour

    The 718 Spyder has more Power and I don‘t understand Porsche to bring It with cup tyres.

    It will be a 110K€ car....used 981 Spyders soon will be in the 70K€-range.

    The better option for me.

    Re: 991.2 GT3 Touring on tour

    Last thursday we have been at the Hockenheim-Ring with the Pistenclub.

    Perfect organised day, but we had only one dry stint, the rest was very wet.

    My Touring and my neck made no problems...the car is just great on the track. I saw 256 Km/h on the Parabolica before the braking zone and it is rock solid, even without  wing...;-).

    It was no surprise that the Cup2s performance in heavy rain didn‘t impress.

    Sadly the day ended bad for one member of our group - he lost his car in the rain under braking for the hairpin and smashed in the tyre barriers with the driver side. The emergency brought him to he hospital at Heidelberg - 3 broken ribs and a damaged ego...

    Tomorrow he can leave the hospital, so everything will be alright - the Porsche can be replaced...

    Re: 991.2 GT3 Touring on tour

    Looks brilliant.

    Why was the GT2 RS on red calipers? Something to do with the Porsche Sports Cup? I recall in Imola they did the same to be able to run steels but not to have to use an aftermarket disc to fit the yellow calipers, something along those lines?

    That is simply for a collector who has to have originality.  If you want to have fun, you can build an RS or RSR replica from a C2 and have a car that drives far better (hot-rod parts and nice custom-built engine).  Having a 3.6L motor with 260hp (original 964RS) is hardly cutting edge technology.  The street version of RSR from 1973 already had 308hp from 2.8L...
