996 RS owners - use your cars
Discussion
Looking forward to using mine soon to. It's just having its 10 year facelift. ie all carbon bits re lacquered, front end respray, all wheels refurbed, front bonnet sprayed due to air bubbles and then detailed. Amazing cars and even after 10 years of ownership the car still surprises me when I drive it.

The car is running Michelin Pilot sport 2's (not CUP's) - the grey 997 3.8 RS is my old car, now owned by a pal of mine.
So I guess you were mixing it up with the 964 RL guys. Be interested to know what you prefer on track the 996 or 997. Also the size difference in the 6 and the 7 is very noticeable in that 3rd picture

Nice shots, I've got the same trip next week as well - both are trackdays with Circuit Days.
Probably a few people on here going?
Yep - I'm in for this one too, not sure on what to take yet, the RS, or trailer the M3 all the way there and back from Edinburgh... decisions decisions...Probably a few people on here going?

I think you must have photoshopped that last pic...I don't recall being behind you at any time during the day
It was a great weekend...
On the tyres, I wasn't running cups, but SuperSports in 7.2RS sizes...best compromise for a cross continent blat and track day at this time of year for me.

My wheels were refurbed by www.wheelworksuk.co.uk in Crawley.
They did a great job and no I don't work for them.
Strange how it's the same things that go wrong with these 996 RSs but I still love them.

I was quoted £350 per wheel for mine. Seemed toppy but then again I don't know whats involved. Its a common problem with all these cars. I have seen some recently that looked like they had rottedThey did a great job and no I don't work for them.

It is fantastic that some 996RS owners continue to enjoy the car in the manner in which it was intended by Porsche. A friend who owns a good low mileage example has just been offered 130k for his car - he didn't sell
The sad side of stratospheric values is a dis inclination to drive cars hard. It would be very sad that this would apply to the 6RS but I fear it's inevitabke
