Sorry, GT2 RS

Look at this, click on the track to see comparisons.

I am not surprised the RS feels good, they have always felt good, but from what I am (able) to see the cars when driven by people who can get them round a track really quickly, are not significantly quicker, if at all. I appreciate that us mere mortals might be able to go quicker, but if that is the car I don't believe downforce is the reason, certainly not in the wet.

It is the DF that sets this car aside from those before it...PCC drivers that have driven the car say its close to their race car.

Go and have a sit it one....

Well I've just had a brief go in one. I love the small Steering wheel... and that's about it.

At road-going speeds (as opposed to the Schumacher-in-his-prime speeds YOU gents all drive on track) it's about as remarkable as 2.7 Boxster - there's bugger-all engagement.

Love the absolutely oxymoronic stupidity implied by a fabric door pull situated above electric windows. A magnesium roof on a car with sat-nav. I mean what's the point.

This isn't an RS. The last RS was the 996.

P.S. Any cheap Carrera GT's going?

mmm interesting view, have you ever had a go in a 991GT3, I agree on road does not feel a lot faster then than the GT3, but lacking engagement....

More box chatter than the GT3 at low speed, the steering bobs around more than the GT3, faster gear shifts, up and down, in both auto and manual modes...Induction noise etc, front end grip and turn in like no other road car....lots going on..

Press on a bit let the aero comes in, whole new game.......
