Had every RS - this 996.2 RS after the 993 RS is the best road car RS they made imho - 964RS was the best raw track car. Later 997 etc etc just too fast and unengaging I felt.

Ive driven that car its lovely, was driving our blue livery one last week. Great cars, seem to follow changes in the road, and can feel not exactly quick. But prefer them to the stiffer harder work 997 GT3s. The 964 RS is still the best and for value a 991.1 GT3 cant be beaten. The 996 GT3 rs is more like a 1hr run out on a sunday Morning, not a daily.

Can’t afford one of these rare beauties? Make one like I did. A 981 Boxster or Cayman S, with headers, exhaust and tune makes about 370 hp. With a light weight exhaust and lithium battery, it weighs only 6kg more - for about 100 grand less and is mid engined and handles better!
@augustortiz2 жыл бұрын
I agree they are an awesome alternative, but there’s something visceral about this car that is pretty much impossible to replicate from anything that porsche built after the 996. I would say only a 997.2 RS/ 4.0L would come close.

Please stop posting videos like this. 996.1 GT3s of any flavor are still outside the 25 year mark for importation to the US(I know the RS is on the show or display list but owning this car and only being able to drive 2500mi a year is somehow worse than not having one in my mind). I’d like to get one before the word gets out and they cost $1,000,000.

Not even close to the otherworldly performance on offer from the Maccan GTS, now that’s the pinnacle of Porsche. The Cayenne was superior to any 911 in driving dynamics to begin with but the Maccan has even outdone the Cayenne. All true driving enthusiasts know this, the real winner of the Porsche range are their SUVs, they can even outcompete GT3 race cars, that’s how razor sharp their handling is!

@@chrismuc4023, fair enough. One man's pro is another man's con. I really enjoy how edgy the 996 GT3RS is. Where I found the 997 Mk1 GT3 RS would push a little bit (understeer) too often for my liking, though it is a great car and probably the best "first GT3" if I had to recommend one to someone who has never driven one. Still, there's something about the 996 for me--a real old school pucker factor--that puts it above the rest.
