You know the solution Richard - be the 1st person worldwide to fit a Sharkwerks bypass pipe and release the music! We now carry them in stock along with the 100mm thin-wall RS lightweight tips in black ceramic coated....

Just saying ;-)

When do you get yours?

Can't say fairer than that - what colour have you gone for ? Enjoy

LO. I like the colour, though many do not. I have a Viper RS.! so it should be a nice contrast in the garage.
I would not like to have zero manual transmissions so this provides me with a fair choice for track-oriented cars.

Wish you well, and don't forget the 3000 running in.

3000 seconds seems to be a very long time to me. I have never really run in any of them over the years. 250Km to check if there is anything egregious, then drive as I normally do. Will have about 2500km when I track it. Oil change after the track days, over and out.

I'm a big fan of L.O - it's a grower - first look , felt nothing either way , thought it was "ok" - seen it 4 times now and I like it more and more each time - in fact last time (when I drove it ) I loved it - it's just "right" for a bonkers car like the RS - can't see it working on a normal 911 though - please let everyone know what you think (of the car , not the colour) post pick up

Will do. Unfortunately it looks like it is going to be quite wet for the first four days or so, so that will quieten things down a bit.

Always a good thing, like learning a new race track when it is wet

Hi Gents

A couple of questions;

I was given my build slot in March next year (France LHD car). Can i still get PTS in France (it is still on their Config)?
When will I need to pay in full?

Thanks

I was told no PTS on the RS and it's not on the UK config - what's your OPC saying? Obviously full payment on collection.

Where's Apolo01 with his 'I've got the first car in the UK' post?! Pretty quiet on here and itching for some news of cars hitting British shores.

I can say friends of mine who've been running one for a few weeks now rate it very highly, and they own & drive some other seriously quick & exotic cars.
Particularly impressive from the feedback I had was the engine/engine noise, transmission and grip levels.

[RDMcG]

Grip is staggering. Just been running in the Austrian Alps with a bunch of Porsches and it is an amazing car. I had driven my 997RS four days ago and the difference is so big for me that there is nothing from the old car experience that comes over. More later......

But nobody is chatting about values on the RS?!

This thread has been all about the car...so far! Hopefully it will stay that way.

Agree - I just mean in general across the Porsche forums
