I’ll be trading in GT4RS.
Only did one track day, might get another one in before bringing it back.

Poverty spec ;-)
White
Base wheels
Base rubber dash
PCCB (to sell them and get ST rotors)
Couple little doo da’s, all sub $1000 options (stuff that’s stock on Kia’s) to make it look like something as dealer was pushing more options.

Did have to get an 992RS a watch for $11K…


MSRP still 259K most specs I’ve seen are $300-$340K Weissach pack and Paint to sample alone are $50K, any not base wheel is $4K leather is $4K..

My first 3 997RS were all zero option white and the 4.0 was 1 of 6 radio delete..

Starting to get excited again after selling both my RS zin 2020.

Tried GT4 (Irish green) great car for the money
GT4RS seems too much crazy noise, harshness and at $200K too much…

GT3 seems perfect but I couldn’t get one at the time but I was able to get GT3RS..

[worf]

Towing capacity of white whale?

[TRAKCAR]

3000 lbs possibly. But it’s hard enough to keep it between the lines without trailer hahaha.

I’ll drive the car to Sebring and back.. no more trailering ..

Even for being a "base" it looks well equipped!

Was just at the track earlier today and one of the drivers was in a 991 GT3 RS. What a beautiful car. He was tearing it up out there. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with this one!

I’m very rusty, been 4 years since Sebring, except the one day in the GT4RS, the GT3RS might well be too stiff for the bumps with all that down force. Lots of knobs on the wheel to figure out, beats a setup engineer for 3 weekends at Sebring playing with spring rates and wheel sizes only to conclude out of the factory is fastest. This was 991.2RS, the 991.1RS benefitted massively…

Wow looks great!

Share those pics! Christmas arrived for you this year for sure!

[TRAKCAR]

Coupe pics from taking it home yesterday.
Interesting; half my gravel driveway is on every nook and cranny. The front opens but only to fill up washer fluid - it’s full but have a low warning on the dash. . . Initial space ship problems I guess haha.

The glove box has tools in it, so the manual booklet needs to go under the seats and helmet - track bag in the passenger seat I suppose. I can fit small soft bags behind the seats (the don’t fold). You really need to want DRS, haha..

Love the pics!

Are you planning on still running with street tires or just taking it easy if it rains on the way back home from the track?

[i am not a traitor]

So nice!

[wsh]

BIG CONGRATS !!
That thing looks awesome
Maximum respect for ordering white with silver wheels :)

Be safe and enjoy

[TheDeckMan]

Looks awesome!

[Designer]

that looks incredible. very happy for you. enjoy!

[ranger22]

The picnic table is becoming more of a cocktail height. Looks great though! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it and how it compares to the 991s!

[AKSteve]

Wow, what a beautiful car! Congratulations! I saw an Arctic Grey GT3RS in the showroom here in Anchorage back in August and spent about 10 minutes just walking around the car and admiring its beauty. That one was spec'ed up to $282k. I had to give myself a reality check and remind myself how a car like that makes no sense on the roads that we have up here. I hope you get to take that car out and enjoy it as often as you can.

[amdavid]

gorgeous!

[JustBud]

Wow! The GT3RS is one of those cars that I love that I can only admire from afar as it's above my pay grade (along with many others) ...... but I'm seriously happy you get to enjoy it up close and personal.

Congratulations!!

Yes, just Michelins or Dunlops, they are fine in the rain, even in Florida if you don't go nuts

Its batshit
It feels very the same as a 991.2 at street speeds, a little harder over the bumps, but Ill know more when ive done a couple days at Sebring. I need to learn again as well, been 4 years..

Its nuts, I paid $138K in 2010 for a new RS and 188K for a 4.0 in 2012. Even in 2019 $185K. FF to Bidenomics and here we are, I got "upgraded" to a 2024, the only change was $20K more MSRP... And they made me buy a 13K bullshit watch, so I paid $13K over MSRP I guess...

The over MSRP will be gone by years' end.
In 2015 I was offered $80K over for a purple GT3RS, within 6 months that was gone and they sold for sticker..
In 2019 same thing but $50K, I sold it with 20K miles for $175 in the 2020 lockdown days.

I spent $30K on my daily driver now, seems plenty..

Can you post some pictures of the interior?

[TheDeckMan]

So much wing

Can you post some pictures of the interior?

Basic, black door pulls, black seat belts, white dials I forgot to take off the final spec

Works pretty good. Drove crappy with passenger and still got Personal Best. Easy to drive, a friend that’s an OK driver and hadn’t been to Sebring in 5 years and he got a 2:15..

[ranger22]

Dayum! That car is quick and it wasn’t even sweating yet……

Nice work! Pardon my ignorance, is a "break-in" period not required or is that some type of BS that auto manufactures spew?

That eventually becomes a religious argument regardless of any explanations, observations and data.

The actual answer is: yes there is break in, but the thought process for it is too complicated to describe to the average california blonde that buys a new Porsche as their first car from their OnlyFans income, so Porsche’s lawyers require language to protect Porsche from “blonde liability.”

Used to be that language for break in varied by region: e.g. EU “rules” were different from US “rules”, etc.

Short technical answer? Break in is about proper heat cycling where proper means controlled warm up, operation, and controlled cool down.

My PB in 991.2RS was 1:138, so bested with passenger and not even played with any settings.

it need 1500Km and tells you each time you start, some say it reduces performance and wont let you rev, I havent tried it and put 950 miles on before I got to Sebring.

I did it anyway, but in the past I haven't. I'm much more a believer in frequent oil changes, and I always warm up the car and cool down the car very gently..
