I finally read the article and what great review. I knew the 3.9 was going to be good but the review was just over the top great. You guys are class acts and it is fabulous seeing you receive some well deserved recognition. Congratulations!

OK, I just watched the video now. Fabulous! I love that car at 8800 RPM's. It makes me want to find an orange 997.1 GT3RS and send it your way.

Thanks Sparkhill.... I gotta get you a ride in ours and yes orange would be the way to go. According to Mooty the orange ones are faster than the green

"Owners who like the new rear wing will be seeing a lot of it; thicker and positioned higher, its blade is perfectly placed to obscure everything be­tween a bus driver’s gloves and a skateboarder’s shoes. We resort to using the tall side mirrors as rearview mirrors, a practice we abandoned years ago."

LMAOOOOO

The more I look at the "ghosted" GT3RS stickers, the cooler I think they are. I like a clean look with no stickers, but if I had an RS, I'd be ordering a set.

I just watched the video. Anyone who knows something about engine tuning knows the 500hp is no big deal. But, the linear power curve and gains down low and especially mid-range with that kind of power up top -- that is downright impressive. If I had a GT rather than a tt, I'd be saving up for the engine kit. Really cool.
