I'm just going to say, I've driven the Nurburgring. Given how incredibly bumpy it is, this GT3 shows absolutely stunning levels of stability and control, and the guy is pushing it super hard.

Porsche has the edge on damping currently IMO.

They really have not had an equal in the dampening dept since the 991 was launched. That new engine must be something too. They changed quite a lot under the surface of this car and even the fact that it produces more downforce with no additional drag is quite an achievement. More stable yet faster and the 991.1 was damn fast too. Can't complain about any of that.

I'd love to drive this car on the Ring. Cannot imagine what the RS will be like!

Plus they really have nothing else to prove at this point comparing to its competitors, yet they still find ways to make their loyal customers keep on buying and upgrading. It is amazing how they have been selling and taking care of their customers consistently.

.2GT3RS and the GT2RS will be extremely impressive if the .2GT3 is at this level already.

Agreed. And they keep pushing as they always have he NA engine envelope. They're is no more scintillating an engine than a GT3/RS.

My prediction. GT3 RS 7:02, GT2 RS 6:46

Simply cannot wait for my .2 GT3. Mine is the second allocation and will be right in range for the manual to be online in production, which is what I'm going to go for this next time around. The PDK is sensational, but I feel that this may be my last chance to get a good manual trans in a car of this type.

I did. I've had my deposit money down for a year on this one. Very lucky that my dealer doesn't play games either.
