Best car ever.

Harvey Specter 07-04-2017 10:41 AM

Similar pricing to the Performante with similar performance.

twitchyzero 07-04-2017 11:26 AM

could've done without all the black accents on the exterior
the red interior though :victory:

ZN6 07-04-2017 12:53 PM

YES! That means it will push down the price of the GT3RS!!!! Oh, wait, that's not how Porsche works. :okay:

always loved the stock roll-bar in the rear of RS models...i'd have it in any high horsepower car and feel a little safer

The ultimate super car IMO. It has always been my favorite aside from the F-40. I love everything about it would buy one in a heartbeat if I had the cheddar. No question.

The Weissach Package cost more then my car

Was hoping they would release a stick option, but I guess if you want stick shift you will have to buy the older model. On side note I wonder if the price jumped up on the older model because the new GT2RS only comes in pdk.

Is this the first production 2wd car that can do 0-60 in under 2.9 on street tires?

-not sure. I know that the GT2 RS is definitely quicker from 0-60 than the Ferrari 488. Drivers of this Porsche will beat those mainlander's Ferrari's in a drag or circuit race. :fuckthatshit:

Nice comparo vid to the new GT3 @2:05. GT2 RS is going to be dominating all lap times, but man is the new GT3 a beast.


Badhobz 07-06-2017 01:48 PM

coming soon to a richmond near you! better watch out when they pull into chief tony's parking lot and crawl at 30km/h down no3 road with all that performance.
