Down the road I'd like to fulfill a long held desire to experience some older vintage cars...think I'm done with the new stuff for a while

It's always sad to part with a good friend. And that's what great cars become.

But you will enjoy the new one so much more!

It is great to see that you appreciate the fine things that you own Jas.

So, not really sold on the GT2RS to be honest.
i aint sold on it because first time around, i was saying the same thing, too much HP, not enough swagger thru the turns. probably like you, I'm an RS guy all the way. heck, im not sure i can even control that kind of HP on a swervy track.

great car jazzy, and one of the best color schemes. saw one in person saturday, really spectacular. im not 150% on the wheels, but im not 150% that im not for them either. i think black or gun metal would be incredible.

She's a real beauty, too bad pumpkin has to go but imo it wouldn't really make sense to keep them both.
Also I agree with you on the GT2 RS, imo the naturally aspired engines from Porsche are the real deal.

Awesome purchase! I have only been able to put a few miles on the GT3 RS.2 but I can say that there is a more conneted feel and much more fury to that 3.8 all through the rev's. We also replaced the center muffler with a RSS component sourced through Suncoast that made the tone deeper and much more aggressive while keeping the on-off sound function.

JAS,
Congrats on the new ride! You're collection is amazing.

Sell me your Stradale. I've been eyeing that car for a while now!!! Would be a good stablemate for the RUF

the first time I meet Jas, I'm sure the opening of "Sympathy for the Devil" will be playing in the background.

can't wait to see the replacement!
