I had a heavy dinner that I need to digest before I go to bed, therefore I'm a bit active on P9 tonight
Following my Porsche Sport Driving School's Precision Course @ Yas Marina, I was supposed to attend the Performance Course last weekend @ Leipzig. But I cancelled at an early stage due to other obligations. But two of my friends did go with a third friend of theirs. My two Friends rented the mighty 991 GT3 RS and their friend rented a 991.2 Carrera S.
I'm not going to go through their whole experience, but I'll highlight here few things they said that struck me:
1) the RS is a very special brutal track machine, but they'll never buy one unless to track it. It can't be a DD nor a weekend car.
2) the exhaust roar is amazing, but after a long day of laps the ears would bleed with pain.
3) the 991 GT3 RS is more forgiving than the 991 GT3, as per their instructor.
4) as much as they loved the RS at first as much as they were disappointed from the RS in a straight line. They said they wish it had the R8+ V10, Huracan or 991 turbo S engine/performance.
5) the 991.2 Carrera S gave them a very hard time on the track. They'd close on the gap on the curves but on a straight line, the Carrera S would just fly ahead of the RS.
6) they all agreed that the 991.2 Carrera S is the better car for DD, weekends and track.
7) all Porsches on the track were brand new. My friends' RS had 200-300 km on the clock.
8) all four RS that were on the track that day got topped five times with oil in the two days course.
9) there were 911 R and 918 on the track too.
10) they didn't feel the Carrera S turbo lag.
That's not a feedback I ever thought I'd hear from friends who were obsessed with the RS. I say big thumbs up to 991.2 Carrera S.
Im taking my 991.2 next week to PBIR and ill test it against a new gt3rs, ill see if similar things happen
