GT3RS Weissach - Page 5 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

Good afternoon, I am looking to get into a GT3 RS Weissach at some point in the near future as a keeper and it will be used most days. The cars on the market at present don’t seem to be shifting, maybe the JZM car the exception but there is now a similar, same mileage car appeared at Chester OPC but whether they are the same car who knows. The overs still seem excessive and as much as I would like to purchase one of the nearly new cars available at list I can’t see that happening for a while, so just doing some homework at present. Reason for the post, I would be interested to hear from any owners who could give me there opinions on the ownership and usage of the car, as it would be good to get direct information from people who drive these on a regular basis rather than the Internet reviews which are probably based on a few hours driving the car. I hope someone can spare a few minutes to share there experiences, and please pm me if you prefer not to comment on the forum.

What exactly do you want to know beyond what you’ve already seen?

Like most buyers you probably want one with 100 or so miles on the clock ...........so not so much advice to be gleaned . To get one at list with 100 miles may be more complex but then who knows right now ... I used mine a lot with nearly 10 k miles so worthless , but it was a lot of fun

The chester cars were two,one of them just sold by a mate through jz at strong money. Need to use mine more when this has all lifted,great car so far,wp i think is a bit special and not so many around which is great.

Thanks for the reply, having used 996 GT2 as a daily I was just looking to see if they were also usable on a daily basis. There are so many with very few miles on I was wondering if they were too uncompromising on the road, your mileage seems to answer that question. Can I ask how highly you rated it?

Yellow ... I think we need to get essentials soon maybe in the same area ........will be nice to see yours

I have a friend who has a WS GT3RS, 100 miles on the clock. I think he is looking for 205K for it. It has everything on it apart from the mag wheels. Send me a message if you are interested I will pass your details on.

(boring, effortless...);) Do you can give your comparison 991.2 RS vs. 997 RS ?

Thanks again, was just going to ask the same question regarding the 997 to 991, as I started out set on the 997 but have been favouring the 991 lately. No extended test drives are going to be available in either so all comments on driving experiences are much appreciated.

Best one for a true opinion on this is Yellow as he has had both and a handy wheelman .... The difference is progress , I think the PDK in the new RS is the highlight but others feel it is a step back from manual . Progess happens and I like the manual H paternities of the 993 GT2 R but the new cars are more effective and refined . I think Yellow has enjoyed his move from the 997 RS to a Weisach RS ..

I’m 7k km in on mine so a little more than 100miles on the clock... It is very easy to live with and I have been doing the essentials run every other day in it. The mag wheels are vital imo though so make sure you look out for a car with these on. I have a winter set of normal wheels and back to back the mags really aid the ride quality. It’s hard to believe by how much. 4kg a corner doesn't seem like much but it sure makes a diff. I wouldn’t, but you could daily the car if you needed to. The hardest part is getting in and out of the seats and that’s not really hard at all.. Budget for a new exhaust also as it transforms the experience.

The - what if, can if, only if, conversations are good value..... I'm 3.5k into ownership and in my mind it's a fabulous everyday usable car especially with the magnesium wheels and PCCB combination. Ultimately, at the end of the the day you get what you pay for - best of luck and more importantly enjoy!!

I tripled the mileage on my 3RS WP the other day with a 40 mil trip to the shops, I guess it's worthless now It is like my .1 with everything refined. And I've done around 15k in my .1! The only thing I don't like is the noise (or lack thereof), so during lockdown I've not bothered driving it much which is a shame. I also didn't spec the mag wheels because I was going to abuse it on track for a while, and my local roads are also awful. Oh and I preferred the looks, and the 8k in my pocket....prescient perhaps. Edit: To clarify I live in a super rural area, the trip was a bit less than 40 miles and didn't actually include any detour or unnecessary driving!

Amazing discussion... I pick up my cars from the factory normally and in the first three weeks will have 6500km on them with a bunch of track days. Don't care about what car it is. In the end I want the experience of thrashing my cars. No exceptions. . will get my next 992RS that way. I always thought the things were for driving hard. Probably an illusion on my part. Still, not an investor so we are all different.

I also live in a very rural area and close to some great welsh roads,i just drive the car as normal mag wheels or not. I am surprised at the exhaust note comments,as its quite noisey between 6 to 9 inside,and the need to get on track days and stay on! They are deff for driving,its a car the needs driving,and all this mileage nonsense,i have sorned mine for now,not worth the risk in my area,3 harley,s got taken away yesterday,no tax or mot etc,police pretty hot on any fast driving at the mo.

Appreciate all the comments. It will be for using, putting miles on it is what I am buying it for as there are a number of road trips in the UK I wish to do and also some European trips once we get back to some sort of normality.

That looks superb!

Ignore what I posted yesterday. He has sold his GT3RS last month. He indicated that he got 220K for it. So, good news for WS owners as that is still strong money. He is getting a new Turbo s as his fast daily driver. So maybe that is a good option for you, apparently this new Turbo is a lot more taught and track orientated. He will track it, so it will be interesting to see what times he gets.

Why no carbon trim on the steering wheel?

Any one notice engine pinking/ignition rattle in higher gear 3 or 4th at 40 mph low speed throttle application,dash indicator still saying change up! The engine noise inside is loud,cant imagine why you would want to change the exhaust!

No Pinking noise as far as I can hear ....... after a fair bit of mileage the car starts making more RS noises , from the Box and bearings

Thought this looked good,x Jerry Seinfield car,up for auction 918 special paint etc

Imo one would be crazy to pay that much for a WP car when none WP cars can be had for £165k All and I mean ALL the performance and ride comfort are with the mag wheels. So £165k on a normal 991.2 RS, £7k on some BBS fi-r wheels And go visit Manthey for some choose mods. They will release their 991.2 RS MR any day now. WP cars while amazing Are imho just WAY too much money atm. Posers cars at these prices, ie the latest and greatest. But NoT the wise buy if you like driving and value for money. I would take a non ppf car every time and treat it to some choice upgrades and try and remove 150lbs at the same time, imo quite doable. Battery Seats Removal side muffler and swap to ti manafolds and exhaust. Manthey pads Ohlins TXX shocks Manthey new aero kit. Remove all tools tat and a bit of carpet which is just for show. Serious car for still less than a WP car and far faster.

You can do all the above on a WP car, in fact i've already ordered an Antigravity 40Ah battery for my RS to save 14Kg..I also intend to fit either an Inconel or Titanium back box to lose another 15Kg..I was all set on JCR however i've found other British exhaust makers who equally good a job for less money even with Inconel.. I'm aiming for a target 1400kg weight for my RS when finished and then i'll keep it forever..

I would have thought if manthey suppying they would be inline with the warranty?! R how many wp cars have you driven,how many cars have you driven with factory mags,must be a lot to come with such sure fire facts. A WP car is a factory car not some hot rod,and will always command a premium. Also behind the times Manthey are already doing the latest rs.

Awwwwww. How comes the wonderful PTS Grey GT3 RS is for sale at PWL? It is such a special car! Is it because there was overlap with the other GT’s and Speedster? Or is it to make way for another one. Or both!

I know who the owner is and i also know that his business has been hit particularly hard by Covid-19..There are currently 19 RS wp cars for sale on top of the dozens already sold so this is nothing new..FWIW i still have mine which is still SORN'd and can't wait to drive it again.. There are current two Speedsters for sale at DL, one with 165 miles and the other with 110 mile..Very few of RS WP cars are still with their original owners..

Taffy66 said: Very few of RS WP cars are still with their original owners.. Mine is, and has been used in anger at the very first opportunity after being cooped up for a few months! Also the very very last 991 to leave the factory as chance would have it. Feel kinda bad for not getting the mag wheels now but with the roads around me it's probably a good thing, and I'll spend the £8k on an epic "end of lockdown" party.

I also used to run a 996 GT2 as a daily and track car. With regard to running a WP 3RS as a daily based on my experience they are about the same as running a GT3.2pdk, or Gen 1RS, they only thing I would say with the WP one is to take extra care with the Mag wheels, if you kerb or damage one it will most likely need replacing and whist they have come down in price they are still very expensive, and take care with the Cup 2s in low temps and standing water. Looking forward to get back on track next month in my WP 3RS.

Built to order and delivered in time to the fitter as I had to book a slot in advanced. Even the wife thought it looked good on the kitchen floor. I'd post some pics but this is a porsche thread. Massively lighter than the OE exhaust and sounds brilliant, though the OE exhaust sounded pretty good with the valves open.

MR .2 RS is out playing :-) details again any day.

Something interesting . Non wp car on steel brakes with out the lumpy ali wheels at 1542kg,with wheels and tyres say another 60kg?,thats 1600kg. Wp car with ceramics and mags etc 1450.

Wp car with ceramics and mags etc 1450. . Mag Wheels save 12Kg ish About 14kg on PCCB. lets say 20 kg on the side muffler, but we did not add back in the PPF weight, offsetting the saving I bet other wise they would make a thing of it. roof 0.5 kg Arb and links 5.3 kg ti cage ? 12 kg. carpet trim etc 0.5 kg Porsche state 29kg WP saving most of that is the cage, wheels and the ARB + links the rest is fluff. I think the 150kg is VERY wish full thinking. 330 lbs. cars hold what 55kg fuel...~? then you have options like lift, the LED's and BOSE which are a tad weighty so you have to look at like for like spec those 3 must be 20kg. like for like you have to stick with Porsche 29kg I would say. even washer fluid is 7lbs !!!! yes if you weigh a WP car with no fuel or options. Then a RS loaded with options fully wet and Steels you will see 125 kg in difference.

The new hydraulic lift weighs about 4kg compared to 8kg for the previous gen pneumatic lift..Ti cage and Mags save about 24kg combined..BOSE weighs less than 2kg extra and the LEDs about 7kg.. The new RS WP with GPFs has a 10Kg lighter exhaust..All other spec being similar an RS WP with PCCBs and Mags should weigh 58Kg less than a first gen 991.2GT3 RS on Steels.

My WP was weighed at manthey at 1426. Im pretty sure without wheels but full of fuel. The mags are pretty close to 100kg all in with Cup 2's. They are 4kg a corner lighter than standard with PS4S. Edit: I have full ppf but no idea how much that weighs, would be curious though. Edited by Spyder75 on Wednesday 17th June 12:41

There is a discrepancy some where,my car has the small fuel tank,no bose and mag wheels on at 1450 With out me 62kg. Unless the chap having his corner weighted is seriously large,and if the wheels are 116kg ish! Not sure why you would corner weight and set up with a full tank

FFS how much does PPF weigh,really Why not have it in base primer,remove the lights,use it in the daytime only and turn passenger seat into office chair Could be 1395kg’s hallelujah WTF, used on a track day and blocked at every corner buy a Mark 1 Golf Think I’d rather keep the paint,lights,ppf and passenger seat after all

US seems all take the Cermics off .... and keep them for re-sale time

Not sure why you would corner weight and set up with a full tank If your referring to me... manthey ask you to show up with full fuel, exactly the same as center gravity do. One of your points though.. I can’t remember if that had driver weight in or not... 82kg.

It was brought up previously and is relevant if someone is trying to determine like for like weight.

Yellow491 said: Something interesting . Non wp car on steel brakes with out the lumpy ali wheels at 1542kg,with wheels and tyres say another 60kg?,thats 1600kg. Wp car with ceramics and mags etc 1450. The weight of the non wp car is very odd. 1542kg even with steel brakes and standard wheels seems very high. Fwiw - sportauto .2 3rs with weissach/ceramics/no lift and no audio was iirc 1445kg. their .1 3rs with ceramics/no lift but no cage was 1460kg.

No not referring to you,i have seen a pic of the scales at manthey,with no wheels on and i would say with driver weight and full tank. You don’t normally set up with a full tank of fuel,two thirds,as not many run around a track or road with a full fuel load,i will ask chris why he does that.

Yellow491 said: You don’t normally set up with a full tank of fuel,two thirds,as not many run around a track or road with a full fuel load,i will ask chris why he does that. Yep, really important to get the geo so exactly spot on such that fuel load matters that much for a road car used for random track days to get that last hundredth of a second that can win you a race.....

Spyder75 said: If your referring to me... manthey ask you to show up with full fuel, exactly the same as center gravity do. One of your points though.. I can’t remember if that had driver weight in or not... 82kg. No ones ever asked me for full fuel for a geo that would be daft and only be correct for 5 yards of track ! And I have been to CofG 3 or 4 times. I normally don’t even go 3/4 like most ask, as I never seem to have a full tank so I have mine geo 1/2 full and 72kg of weight on the driver seat. I am never full on arrivals due to getting there, then you do at least 10 laps steady and 2 bleed down of tyres, so you are just over 1/2 a tank then for some fast laps with the car feeling perfect. then it’s lunch and I refill the car. Again after dinner you do a few sighters and tyre check, ready for a few fast laps in the after noon 3/4 full till just about empty. So I would never corner weight or geo a car with more than 60% full tank. Fastest laps are normally about 3pm when you settled in and you have less than 1/2 a tank left, so you want the car to feel 100% with you for then. IMHO of course. As for weight my target is 3000lbs (1360kg) in 2021 with 1/2 tank fuel and no driver on my GT3. Not sure what it weighs now, it does have BOSe , LED and lift, but I think I can get 250lbs out of it over winter. My cars already lighter than a RS WP today so be fun to finish it off next year. I hate heavy cars and don't want more power, just better feel and faster change of direction, hence my CUP race LCA's which gives so much more feedback. I have owned a number of fast heavy cars and I just don’t gel with the weight of them. Much prefer the feeling of my past Lotus and my modded 987.2 Spyder (sub 1250kg). 992's getting a bit fat, you cannot hide it esp on Uk B roads. You start to feel weight at about 40kg saving I find, in the Spyder 70kg is night and day difference to the drive, braking and change of direction. Edited by Porsche911R on Wednesday 17th June 19:56

If you are going to all that effort of kg corner weighting ,expense etc,then the ideal is set the car around a average you would use,nowt to do with racing the plus point is how the car works when wet/greasy conditions, which can make all the difference. 911 front toe can change from toe in to toe out while nailing the brakes with a heavy fuel load,its important in a 911 to get it right i find.

Porsche911R said: He don't . For geo he always wants it with a full tank. I’ve been there about 6 times and always the same. If not he weights it. Maybe different for corner weighting but I’ve never gone there not being full of fuel...

Taffy66 said: Another highly reputable UK company is launching a Titanium 718GT4/Spyder exhaust this Friday followed by one for the 991.2GT3 RS OPF.. I’m looking for an exhaust for my Weissach RS (OPF) - there doesn’t seem to be any simple bypass options? Everything seems to be a more involved system.. Can anyone advise who has fitted an exhaust to their car. It’s just so quiet!

Went with this; https://jcr-developments.com/collections/991-speed... + the megaphone tips. Honestly sounds very good. There is the option to move this over to a 992 GT3 if your plans change as did mine which is now going onto a Touring

Thanks for the link - I think I'll get one ordered
