So, reading the reviews, I expect some kind of Herculean effort to engage the clutch or shift the thing, but no, everything in the car is weighted perfectly.

I have never sat in a car with such a perfect driving position. The seats were perfect, all the controls in the right place. It really is the most purposeful place on Earth.

That's really all I had to say. The damn thing is perfect, at some point, I shall own one. Build all the trucks you want Porsche, as long as you keep building cars like that, too.

I think it was the standard seats, although not sure which variant.

The GT3/RS is a perfect sportscar. As you've said, the feel, ergonomics, performance and power to weight ratio within the price class.
IMHO it's the best track weapon that is a street car.
The new 997.2 GT3RS is absolutely sick. Naturally aspirated 118 hp/liter.

Cheers

I have yet to understand why the reviews say that

Isn't this applicable to any 997.2?
