Thoughts on this 991 GT3 RS

[Rocco1]

Afternoon Peeps :-)
Whats your thoughts on this GT3 RS, not seen a GT3 RS with a roll cage like this.
Thank you

Without digging further into the advert or provenance, looks like someone ordered and installed the front part of the Roll Cage.
This would make this car a PITA for regular road use… trying to get in and out. Also I wouldn’t want to drive that without a helmet so looks to me that this was a dedicated track tool..., standard interior and door cards. That’s cool.
Just points to bear in mind if you are considering purchasing.

Yes only reason for that is to do competitive events , say Hillclimb as needed for scrutineering , but hence not ideal for the road as yes would need a helmet

Are we likely to see these cars at list price in the next 12 months

I'm more surprised in today's litigious society a main dealer is allowed to sell a car with a front roll cage fitted.

The red vents on the centre console just look awful. Mind you, anyone with a Scooby and Evo would probably like them

I can’t see the point of this car as the full cage makes it unusable as a daily or one you can easily drive to the track, have a great time and drive home again at the end of the day. You would need to trailer it to the circuit or look a complete spanner driving on the road in a helmet.

Do you have a pair of trainers that you need to get a matching car for?

Roll cage might come in useful in the coming months especially when we’re out doing a back road drive

Most Brits are smart enough to realise that in an argument between a length of T45 seamless steel tube, and their skull, there’s only going to be one winner...

Well there is always the exception on here,especialy if the car is on fat tyres;)
Haveing seen two mates bin there cars in competition ,with tight full harness belts,one split his carbon helmet but was ok,the other sadly was in intesive care for 12months and rehab for a further two years,and still has problems after both had a occasion with the front part of a cage.
Proper padding on the cage helps if wearing a helmet.
You can always unbolt the front section.

Thanks for the response guys, I asked because it’s not often you see a car with a full roll cage being offered by OPC.

What a completely unnecessary thing to say, but for the record I wouldn't have them on my 991 GT3 or my Evo VI which I've ownded since new.
