Thumbs up 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

I can't believe on a forum full of car enthusiasts that there is no mention of this latest creation from Zuffenhausen.

I'm one of those who would bypass the GT3 RS and head straight towards the smaller, cheaper GT4 RS.

The GT3 RS just doesn't have the same manic rasp between 8000 and 9000 rpm that the GT4 RS has. It's those last 1000 rpm which makes that choice easy.

Can't wait for the GT2 RS to be released.

give me gt4 rs all day everyday, the sound of the intakes at 9000rpm right behind your ears is insane, I haven't watched a review that has captured that noise so well

id still also pick a gt3 over the gt3 rs, manual wins me over

If I had to have a GT3, it would be a PDK Touring for me without the tacky spoilers and aero crap.

Not a fan of the Turbo or GT2 models, they lack the sound quality of the N/A engines.

Or...................Irish Green with Bordeaux...............







I reckon if I went ordered a GT3 Touring tomorrow, I would see the thing before Ford pulled their finger out and started making S650 Mustang's.

At this point, I want to highlight how good the Porsche configurator is compared to most of the others.

When it's a clash of knee pain over the desire for a low sports car I'm sadly in the ease of entry requirement...hence if it's Porsche for me it's Cayenne now...but the 911's do look great.
