997 GT3RS Driven.......
Discussion
Feck me!! Had an opportunity to drive one last night -that car is an ANIMAL.
If you've got one, you lucky beggar!! (But no, I won't be tempted to the dark side......)
Pleasantly surprised that even with suspension in STIFF mode it didn't seem too bad on Surrey roads.
Brakes? Far Kinnell!
Sounds nice in SPORT too!!

Did 1200kms on monday in the RS, munich to frankfurt autoshow, then the ring and then back to munich.
Crunched the autobahn kms with consumate ease, was only slower than one car at the ring during the evening session (Horst Von Saurma and walter Röhrl were testing 2 997 Gt2s...) and the car didnt even try and kill me once on the drive back to munich (500kms) in torrential rain the whole way.
BEST car ever. Smitten....all it needed was a half litre top up of oil.

All because of that one innocent lap Crunched the autobahn kms with consumate ease, was only slower than one car at the ring during the evening session (Horst Von Saurma and walter Röhrl were testing 2 997 Gt2s...) and the car didnt even try and kill me once on the drive back to munich (500kms) in torrential rain the whole way.

Well Melv....I'm shocked but pleased your man enough to see the light and come clean about you desires.......Unlike Desmond.
You can't take anything away from the 64RS but thing have moved on and we have proof that it's still fun in a water cooled car all beit at a higher rate of knotts.
64RS pleasure is just different in an oldy worldy kind of way....much more nimble and seriously lightweight in comparison.
Clubsport.......you too will see the light......soon as you get rid of those 70's flares and collars.

Which, incidentally, was the colour of the one I drove, but in the dark, it didn't matter!!!
