Great informative video! We’re running Giro discs with stock pads on our Boxster GTS. A question about PCCBs: I understand almost everyone switches them out for steel, but are there any guidelines for how long PCCBs would last? Could the cost balance out if factoring in labor and multiple steel rotors for each PCCB rotor?

I was in the market for both of these and ended up with a 992 gt3 for 2 main reasons. 1- manual. 2- no one will give extended warranties on the RS. So 992 gt3 was my choice.

We initially push people to attend smaller tracks where entry fees are less and since the speeds aren't as high less consumables are involved. Tracks like COTA just have a huge entrance fee for organizers and that cost has to be passed on to the drivers.

Tracking can be scary at first because of the speeds but it's very rewarding to find the full capabilities of your car. These are hard to find through AutoX, but like you said it does open your eyes to how your car works with 0 to no risk involved.

I do a lot of instruction in super cars and the most common thing that's said to me in the 488GTB is "man, this thing has a ton of turbo lag." It's hard for people to understand that when on exit of a turn to the straightaway at 50-60mph and they mash the pedal, if the nannies weren't on they'd dynamite the tires and end up in the wall. Nannies are great for learning, but I agree that when you get a a certain level they can be more invasive than helpful.

As we progress through time as drivers and "seat time" you can start to realize what you want from the car. It even takes a good amount of time to get to the point where you can understand balance and attitude of a car. Then to realize some of the balance problems are actually caused by our inputs vs the car is a whole other story.

Double wish bone isn't magic, the Miata has had it since inception and the Toyota land cruiser has it. Moreover, if they are not on the same tires the test is irrelevant e.g. both on Cup2 or Cup2 R. I much prefer the 991.2 GT3 RS particularly on CUP2 R and I'm quicker in the 991.2 GT3 RS than the 992 GT3 (note I have done 5 seasons of Carrera Cup on 2 continents). The 992 GT3 is easier to drive fast for those with less experience likewise the 992 GT3 RS, the difference between all three in terms of track times comes down to tires and pressures at temp. Another point the 991.2 GT3 RS responds very well to camber adjustment. Around 2.3 front and 2 rear.

I owned and tracked both extensively all over the country. The 992 GT3 is so easy to drive fast vs the 991.2 RS. It’s not the turn in the everyone talks about, it’s the stability in the corners that is so stunning in the 992, it’s so stable you feel confident carrying more and more speed. However, to lay down quick laps in the 991.2 RS is so fun because you truly earn it, takes much more skill. I have told people repeatedly that almost anyone can be fast in 992 GT3 because the car is so good. But I can’t say that about the 991.2 RS.

I believe the 992 GT3 is an advancement for improved lap times given the front end and electronic controls. I personally much prefer the RS for the rawness and it feels more a drivers car. Given most use these on the streets and track days, I vote for raw race car feel vs. more numb but yet faster GT3. Again, it is so capable and more driver-dependent.

Don’t get me wrong I’d love one in the garage but they are not the easiest thing to drive fast (me being an under skilled poser). The hood is a mile in front of you and it’s difficult to place the nose All 911’s share that instant ease of drivability. I’ve had a 911 turbo (fastest thing I’ve experienced), the gt3 (sublime and great on the road as well as track) and now the RS. Truthfully the RS is stiffer on the road but manageable, but shares the same “easy to drive” design that all 911’s possess. What separated the gt3 and RS for me was the reliability, ease to drive, the sound, and - personal opinion only: the looks Again - I’m a Viper fan but only one car space in the garage lest the wife divorce me. So if I can only own one exotic- it’s a gt3/RS

I don't get why autocross doesn't have flags be placed on top of cones as well to create more of a wall. The purpose is to minimize background noise/distraction for the driver so the course is more clear. I track my car but would try autocross if it weren't for these cones.

Our team member Alvin struggled with this but does amazing at the track, so we are right there with you. He has also done great at AutoX events that have a fully conned path unlike this event that had cones that pointed and guided you that way.
