Well they are a lot more different to the Gt3 is what i nean

As road cars i think the GT3 is becoming an increasingly better car but thats an opinion from having not driven a current RS based on what i read plus the increasingly 'track orientated' styling

But when i bought a 997.1 gt3 as example the RS was pretty much the same car with widebody lighter flywheel and big wing. Now there are far more mechanical changes.
Correct. The 997.1 generation GT3 and RS were very similar.

All the other variants (before and after) have had much more difference.

Possibly. Certainly the first driven by a crocodile.

Yeah,
Could be first, well done.
A customer at Glasgow had theirs arrive a week last Wed but then went on holiday for 2 weeks, so picking it up in a week or so. Perth handed over a car yesterday and publicised it as First in UK but they’ve got that wrong. It went to Barry Horne who works at PEC and was first ever to win Carerra Cup. Nice guy.

Dialed the LG roll cage and LG rims out of mine. Now black roll cage and black wheels but otherwise LG.
Cheers.

Thanks, got a great trip to N24 hr next week to work on the running in.. first impressions are the front end is more direct than my gen1, the PDK software is also improved and feels even quicker than a gen1. I’ll write more when I’ve covered some more miles...

Looks amazing, I think I would de sticker it though, and I love stickers.
Red with gold wheels looks great.

991.2 RS black with gold wheels is going to be one of the iconic GT porsches imo modern aero lines with an 80s vibe v cool

I had a good look at the new RS yesterday..It was a full lizard spec including steering marker,roll cage and wheel rims...It was way too much green for me and i wasn't that taken with the lizard paint fullstop...I loved the lizard seats,steering wheel marker and stitching but the rest they can keep.
I absolutely love the GR above with the gorgeous gold wheels and this will be my first choice..Alternatively i'd love a black or white RS, both with gold wheels and have the lizard seats and stitching for contrast..

Looks great. Ironically very similar to the car Henry Catchpole was driving on the exterior at least. What on the interior? Buckets and cage?

I saw a Lizard car last week...had Lizard cage but not seats which is the way I'd go if I was going Lizard. Not that I'll be getting a chance to though!
