rear wheel Drive 3.8 twin turbo out of the turbo obviously.

i think i read somewhere that the GT2 has been pulled away from the porsche turbo team. now the RS boys have their hands on it, and they came up with this!

No PDK though, Manual. Still, i wouldnt mind, the GT3 RS manual seems a dream to skip thru the gears, and the noise!! OMFG!

DO IT!

There's something so beautiful about planting your foot mid corner and having no torque steer/scrabbling/understeer and just getting a satisfying oversteer drift.

Try a 2WD though, they feel a little more pointy and rewarding.
Title: Re: Porsche GT2 RS!
Post by: MAT ED30 on May 13, 2010, 03:44:57 pm
yeah testing 2wd later

Post by: tony_danza on May 13, 2010, 03:47:39 pm
Jealous.

Every Cayman I've looked at today has either been in poverty spec or has some god awful interior colour. Why they don't do an Audi 'style seats and accents' package instead of colouring everything I'll never know!

Off to Chester in a bit  :happy2:

yeah i am over that way later and for strange reason i like some of the silly colour leather  :stupid:

Sand's nice when you see it, but the potential for muck puts me off. Red/cocoa/terracotta/blue/green I just can't abide. Grey and Black as boring as they are, are about it for me. I prefer the half alcantara too, but that's rare.

Title: Re: Porsche GT2 RS!
Post by: tony_danza on May 13, 2010, 04:07:52 pm
It's the coloured dash/steering wheel/carpet I object to!

Although some GT3 buckets do go straight in....  :popcornsoda:

@ Jay - yea but £160k is a lotta dough irrespective in comparison of performance with other cars
