Freier is an unknown quantity at this point
Both look absolutely fantastic! Which did you enjoy driving more, the RT12 or the GT2?

Firmer suspension on the GT2? I thought the RT12 was set up to be quite stiff.

Hesperus, Welcome to the site!! Beautiful shots, I personally like the RT12 better than the GT2.. The lines are smoother and it just looks P$ssed-Off!!

The RT12 does have adjustable suspension. In this case, the Ohlins with the hydraulic lifting kit so the car has no trouble clearing inclined driveways and speedbumps.

As it is set-up now, the ride is very comfortable. In fact, it is softer riding than a stock 996 Turbo. Compared to my GT3, the RT12 is almost like a limousine! The RT12's clutch is also very light. In fact, it has the lightest clutch of any Porsche i've driven, including a Boxster.
