I thought I would have trouble driving my RS daily but you get used to the clutch and even in stop and go traffic it's a great drive. The whole driving experience is just amazing. Definitely not a pain. You really do get used to the clutch. Just great fun daily and at the track. It is a very different drive than my 2010 PDK turbo that's for sure but never a problem to drive it daily. It makes having to go to work enjoyable.

 

Great to hear you are enjoying it as a daily drive! The GT3 is incredible. I hope you didn't let her put furniture in it!

 

That's good to hear. I just might have to try one out for a longer drive, and in stop and go traffic too.

 

You should definitely try a longer drive. I drove from San Diego to Monterey for Rennsport at Laguna Seca and was often in stop and go traffic and it was still a pleasure of a drive. Beautiful scenery along the coast sometimes driving was quick but most of the tme it was stop and go. It never made me wish i hadn't driven the car so far. Sweeping hills and elevation changes on several roads made up for any stop and go traffic i encountered. I can't get enough of this RS it gets in your blood and becomes part of you.

 

Classic! Is that a roof box on a GT3? A guy who can't get himself to drive a more practical hauler!

 

Sometimes we take the GT3 on a 200 mile trip from VA to PA. I put a big fat pillow on my wife's side, and then she's happy.

I have been driving my .2 GT3 RS to work this entire week, and love my drive. This car is unbelievable. I drive about 100+miles a day and it's great on the street and on the track. Don't really need anything else:-)

 

Plus 1~ besides the paycheck driving the gt3 to work is the only reason I go at all

 

Drove mine today. Ahhhh. Starting to think that maybe DD'ing this car and racking up the miles just might be worth it.

 

I agree, and it is, right up untill the moment we go to sell it

that's when you chime in with "you'll love this car so much that you wont be able to keep from making it your daily driver" as you point to the odo reading and say "see, proof of it right there"

 

I have 07-Gt3Rs with the Pilot SS.
had them for almost 8 months , no issues.

 

I drove mine 21,000 miles last year. Love it. Would not trade it for anything except a newer model.

It is a sports car, though, so it is somewhat loud. Also, unlike other cars I have owned, I put the car in neutral at a stop light rather than keeping the clutch pressed in - it is not light!

I have replaced the front lip once, the windshield once, and had 3 flats, but other than that it is beautiful.

The stereo is awful, but I have found that to be part of the charm. I did install an aftermarket satellite radio to avoid the commercials though.

Have fun,

I would love to see a GT3 RS as a DD!

 

My shop added rear seats. Matched the leather perfectly from another version of P-car... so you have that option, and one fewer objection it that's important. Adds about 30 pounds.

Smaller bodies do well back there. car is a 996 gt3.

The car has lots of soul if you push it. The clutch is not that heavy IMO and I really don't notice it.

When I bought the car, it had a slight leak from the RMS which turned out to be because it hadn't been driven much (700 miles a year) and it fixed itself. Also had the speedo lights go out which turned out to be a bad turn indicator stalk.

 

Haha, that's boochook's car...I believe it's a 997 C2S with GT3 wing and stuff. Looks pretty sporty with the Thule box on top...lol
