It seems overall GT3RS 991.2 cars are on average 20K cheaper.

And the standard yardstick worldwide for comparison , is Nurburgring.

yeah thats why I bought a Callaway Driver as Jon Rahm covers around 300 yards with it, unfortunately with my talent im 80 yards short ever time and that's when it goes in the right direction.
Im pretty sure that most people who have bought a 4RS would struggle to get the times Steve post's so reverting to the Top Trumps cards for each circuit is immaterial. If you are lucky enough to own any of them drive them who cares

This car is just a thrill to drive, it's so mechanical, so alive, the instant up and down shifts, the different sounds banging through the cabin, also at lower speeds or lower RPM`s.

IMHO it isn't getting better than this.

Enjoy these cars, while it lasts. Soon to be over and out.

Goodman, it did make me wonder as there can’t be many supplied by Cardiff.

I wonder if it’s going back in against a 992 rs.

I had my 4RS harnesses fitted today by my OPC. I am a bit disappointed. The carpet on the rear bulkhead behind the seats has been butchered and it looks like a really amateur job. I can't believe that Porsche intended it to be done in this way.

I haven't seen any other comments and I wonder if mine hasn't ben done correctly or whether others haven't had them fitted.

Any other comments?

I dont have an RS (sadly) but my 981 GT4 is a clubsport and the slits in the carpet to allow access to the firewall harness mounts are neat and tidy. Almost as if they were prefitted.

Mine on my GT4 are like yours, not exactly "factory" looking. Same for those for the lap belts between the seat and central tunnel.

Good to hear it can be done more professionally. I guess either yourself, a previous owner or the OPC took their time and did it properly.

TDT's look better than mine although I still think Porsche should have provided a neater solution than this. The good thing is that none of my carpet has been removed so I could still trim them back around the brackets. If I did it neatly, I am wondering if I could get a couple of plastic covers 3D printed to sit around the edges, covering the cut edge and the white foam.

I will send pictures of my poor installation when I am with the car next.

I wouldn't call that a decent job to be honest.

Mine look like yours, T. Kind of "OK".

I think the problem is only the outer carpet layer is pre-cut or marked out. The fitter has to hack away at the insulation layer underneath which is then exposed when the harnesses are fitted.

The carpet has to be cut, as well as the backing which is very thick… which is what you see there
Viewed from head on it’s pretty clean cut…certainly not the hatchet job I’ve seen in a lot of other cars.

Doesn’t bother me tbh.
Doesn’t make the car go faster, and I’m more concentrated on what going on in front of me.

Time for an ice lolly! Lol.

I'm guessing you've got carpet flaps then if the all the carpet is present? Neating it up depends on where the OPC sliced. The bulkhead carpet is factory scored each side and in the middle. So tucked in installs are possible if the fitter takes care.

But it’s behind the seats… you can’t even see it! At least I’ve never noticed it. But like TDT said, I’m normally looking forward, lol
