why do you say that? there will be another GT2RS though, but during which generation I'm not sure

So far, no review said anything like that, and this is Harris we're talking about. We know that he doesn't talk from his ass like a lot of journalists do to fill up space (referring to 99% of reviews saying this exactly: It is very fast, but the steering isn't as good, and the driving feel is compromised. But it rides very good."). Harris definitely the best in the business right now. He does a great job getting his points and emotions across accurately.
Far and away the best can't wait for the full story!

If he is saying that this thing is wide I wonder how much wider the GTS or GT3 will be...

It's actually the same exact width of the car in your driveway.

Evo had a preview of the 991 a couple of issues ago (with the Aventador on the cover).

They said, specs wise, the base Carrera is basically even with the Mark 1 GT3.

Think about that. The base 911 is going to perform on a level that the very best 911 of 1999 performed at.

To me, that is just amazing progress.
