GT3 RS kicks major butt on Nurburgring...

The GT3 RS was given another go-around on the nurburgring, and it acheived an amazing time of 7:43. The only two production cars that have been tested on the Nurburgring that got a better time is the SLR (by only 3 seconds) and CGT...

What an awesome car....

rockitman has a reputation beyond repute

Wow!!! Guess that unseats the turbo(GT2) stock for stock. They really need to do a back to back test w/ same rubber for the final decison, imo

collin996tt is infamous around these parts

Does anyone know if the Ring favors long-legged cars slightly more than handling cars? Does it have a fair amount of high speed turns and straights?

They should produce a factory GT2 RS.

In Europe there is a 996 GT2 Clubsport, no RS and that wont happen for the 996.

Put the PZero Corsa system on the GT2 and see what happens. I bet with Walter driving, it will beat the GT3-RS.

But in any case, GT3-RS is definitely one of my favorites!!! I probably would have bought it over the GT2 had it been available in the US.
