I'd like to get a set of those bolster protectors for my new RS, if they come from the states maybe we could sort out some sort of group buy?

I'll be up for it..

My GT3 buckets suffered creasing on the top part as you get in, its unavoidable not to partly sit on it as you get in the inside.

Intend to try and avoid this on my next car by lifting myself higher over the seat edge, but given my age think I need to go to the gym...

Looked at the bolster protectors, but they're for bolster wear and not crease protection

WOW talking of being serious I was just having a mosey and spotted this

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

Mac Senna with 10k of Topaz for £695k that's nearly 200k behind list

I just don't get why you would by one and then put it straight up for sale and blow 200k

Any ideas

A bargain for someone with plenty of dollar

A 720s is an itch I have to scratch in the future but as above to blow £200k=stupid

Yes I agree that the 720 is an annoying itch that causes constant scratching for some reason

I think it’s a car that provokes a little love hate relationship,quite unique at sits in a place all of its own

Can’t beat the soul of a screaming Porsche though

I feel a picture coming on

I might do the PORSCHE logo in satin green, the satin black wing logo just isn’t seen enough

I've never owned a Macca of any sort...............yet.!! However at some of the prices currently asking for 720s and 570 Spiders they are looking like astonishing vfm and i'll probably end up buying one in the future..
Right now my RS is all the car i want which shares my garage with a 458..Sometimes i can't help myself in thinking what supercar i could get if i pxed both of them for one..I reckon both are worth £370k which would buy me a very nice Pista as an example..

The Pista does look an amazing bit of kitbutcss you say £370k seems close to half a million, for a CAR

I always think you need 100 bhp to get a feel for a faster car and to pull a big gap on one.

be interesting to see a RS vs GT3 down the strip, fancy a vid we are doing with a 997 4.0 RS vs my manual and we could add in the lastest and greatest.

also as you are not going high up the revs don't you think the pick up is the mag wheels effect !!

I really cannot believe a RS would be that much faster vs a PDK GT3.

I agree there would be very little difference in acceleration between the two cars

However I don’t think that’s what it’s about, to me it’s going to be a case of how the car feels,rides,handles and makes you feel behind the wheel. I expect the RS when I get to drive it to feel more like a GT race car than the GT3 did

JWW did a triple back to back with GT3 Manual GT2RS and GT3RS, from memory I think he thought the GT3RS was the best option to stir the driving emotions and he does love his Manual GT3. Can’t be bothered to watch it again but here’s the link

Car looks fab Juno. I like green and would have gone PTS on my .2 GT3, but it pushed build way out.

If you think the satin black is lost on the wing, then I think you would think the same on the P logo.

My car is Miami and I've seen rear badges in Miami and felt they were proper MIA.

I think it’s probably a simple explanation....bought as an “investment” and called it wrong. I think there are only something like 40 UK cars too so not masses around but certainly seen plenty up for sale so I think lots were bought as a punt.

I had a chat with a bloke who owns a Senna recently....he does use it as intended though he’s managed to go through four sets of tyres in 2000 miles !

Thanks X Box

I’m sure there will be a few different ideas before I find what works

A fair number more than 40 UK Sennas I believe....

It’s probably to do with your profile set up Dave, says when I tried to e mail you that you do not except e mails from tossers who own green cars

Good luck with the bolsters

I feel another picture opportunity

Congrats Juno, looks brilliant, even the black door handles (I don't normally like then on a GT3) worked out very well - I understand your logic in the flow.

X-Box, you know how much PTS costs now on the 911 in the UK? In the US, it shot up to $11,430 (near enough £9,000) about 2 years ago and stayed there. Ouch!

I inquired about a PTS RS slot but I wasn't worthy enough, and the allocations had been given to others.
