Spotted - 996 GT3 RS

[pdavison]

Just gone through Teddington high street. Gave it some as he pulled away, nice sound to it ... sort of raspy and raw exhaust note.

This one was white with the red decals, anyone here?

[seandudding]

It wasn't me. The only other RS owner I know on here is Trampas.

Cheers Sean

Theres a lovely white and blue one at JCT Brooklands in Leeds awaiting delivery to its lucky new owner.

A White and Red decal one in the AFN showroom at Chiswick this morning when I drove past.

Don't know if the Teddington one may have been BlowDog, but he doesn't post here that often. Though he was at Pistonfest last year in the maddest looking feck off Skyline I've ever seen.

The GT3 RS is being tested on the next edition of Top Gear next Sunday. I wonder what sort of lap time the Stig will get out of the RS?

My guess would be around 1min20/21

Mainly because i very much doubt it will beat the CarreraGT which has a time of 1min19.8 in this month's Top Gear Magazine.

Saw it again this morning so it looks like it's being used as daily transport whilst the sun's out!

If the same Stig drove the standard GT3 clubsport around the circuit I would guess at most 2 seconds quicker than that time, assuming conditions are the same.

PS - I really do wish they would let the new Stig drive the turbo around the track in the dry.

I heard that it beats the SLR from last week.

The GT3 time was set in very wet conditions. I would say about 4 seconds faster.

An insider hint (or rumour ) from the PCGB GT3 forum states that it does indeed smash the Merc time. The original Gt3 time was set in very wet conditions
