Prospective 991 GT3 RS Owners discussion forum.

[robgt3]

Fraid that I am still a bit in awe of my RS. Weather here has still been crap and really don't wish to drive it on truly filthy puddle strewn roads. We live in the wilds of Herefordshire, even having to contend with fallen trees. Instead of driving the thing I have been cleaning it instead. Having CCM's is a delight as the wheels don't get in such a mess, so Mr Sheen has just done a great job. Surely the weather will improve soon! Off to Silverstone with the Son in law on the 8th Feb to have a drive in the new 992 Carrera's, will be interesting to compare turbo power with the RS. I will try and report an honest comparison.

In the absence of driving , if cleaning is your thing - then try this - amazing stuff :

Each to their own, but much better in white. And I don't like white cars. Just looks after market and tacky in that orange.

Fair play, be interesting if you think that when done. What wit will look like is a custom RS, which it is.

If they made a 1:43 model, I'd give it shelf space.

Will any of these RS's ever see a track !! that's the idea of them not taking the wife to TESCO'S pity the OPC's don't really know their customers.......

That Woppumer will see plenty of track action, probably more than 90% of them.

Yep! right colour too, but a German car - they don't have TESCOS do they?

[hornbaek]

Lidl and Aldi will do. !!

I know 8 x 991RS owners and 7 of them will be regularly tracked. By the time mine arrives in June there will be at least 10 I know that will see plenty of action.

I actually think you will see more 991 RS on track than earlier RS's - strangely enough ??

Haha it sure will. Just such a shame they enforce this 1800 mile run in period these days. I have a month to do that before I'm at spa and I'd much prefer to give the RS a go there than Speciale or 918. I'm back in may I suppose...

Anyway little update today., the stickers are slowly turning to paint and laquer !

Woppum, thank you for keeping us up to date on your custom paint job... It looks sensational! Looking forward to the completed article.

As someone who has painted his own cars for years now it’s great to see what looks like a quality job on a new car. I am constantly disappointed with the quality of paint that we see coming out of the high end manufactures these days. You can understand why the detailing industry is doing so well at the moment

Just out of interest, how do they enforce the 1800 mile run in?
