I bought it as a fun canyon car. I would love to track it but I would want a different brake setup. The ceramic rotors are 6k a piece and donāt hold up well to track abuse. The ride is stiff but the 991.1 is much softer and more compliant than the 991.2.
I spend a lot of time at the track on...
The car is amazing. Iāve been following 991 prices for years. I think in 3-6 months the prices are going to dip significantly. Donāt let the dealers asking prices fool you, numbers are being manipulated to keep the 991 market high. Dealers / private sellers are trying to get the same premiums...
I saw them on an E46 M3 over the weekend. Theyāre such cool wheels.
GLWS OP. The car looked great with the kit, canāt wait to see what you do with it next!
The finger follower issue wasnāt an issue on the 4.0ās. I know guys that have over 25k track only miles on their 4.0ās. Hell i met a guy a few weeks back with over 45k of track miles on his 991.1. If you take care of the car and properly maintain them, theyāre very reliable.
Iāve been enjoying...
Managed to snap a quick pic before it started raining today.
I canāt get over the driving experience of the RS. It really is like no other. The mechanical noises you get between the engine and the pdk remind me of an E46 M3.
I think the 992 is still a great car. Itās probably even a better car than the 991.1 RS if weāre being honest. Thereās something about the drama involved with driving an RS that is different than a base GT3 though. Itās hard to explain.
The price difference between a 991.1 RS - 992 GT3 is over...
Thanks guys!
I did one of the overpriced 5 lap racing things in a base 991 GT3 sometime around 2014/15. I was hooked on the car then but just viewed it as an unattainable dream car.
I rented a 991.2 RS (2019) for a weekend from Royalty Exotics in Vegas a few months back and was blown away...
I was kinda all over the place with what to replace my Supra with after selling it last month. I originally planned on getting a 6 port and doing a crazy build on it. I had a lot of people telling me that my plan didnāt make senseā¦and to be fair it really didnāt. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
The other part of me...
Every few months I joke with the wife about ordering one.
My neighbor just got a base-ish Mach e. I donāt love them but I donāt hate them. I think they look better than the model y. I couldnāt see myself ever buying one though.
I gotcha. I just wanted to be clear I wasnāt being dumb on the street. Hell even on a runway with a ton of open space, itās pretty wild doing 160+.
I donāt know what the car is limited to stock. When I mentioned to my tuner that the speedo stopped at 163, it was the first he had heard of it. But I know not many people are half mile racing and probably havenāt experienced that yet with the mkv.
All of my time slips were between 169-171mph...
