Awesome write up and photos. Thanks for sharing.

 

thanks, the rs is only mine, n the headlamps r jst the standard xenons,

 

Agree with all about the old graphics. Looks great with the 997.1 rs graphics.

 

Great write-up, love the family stable!

 

 

Great write up. The spec on the GT3 RS looks near perfect, Love the white console. Which car is easier to drive around town, suspension wise?

 

Thank you guys for the kind words, it was fun writing it up. I would say the RS is easier to drive around, even on the harder setting. The stradale perhaps is not as talented in secondary ride quality, and transmits a bit more shake over medium sized bumps and the occasional invisible pothole that abounds in Massachusetts.

I think this is more a reflection of the times, because I've heard how hard the 996 RS was, compared to the post-PASM RS's. And I have yet to drive the Scuderia but the fact that the suspension can be softened individually of the mannetino suggests both companies understand it can be faster to cover ground on the road if the suspension isn't granite-hard.

 

Btw anyone with either car or experience with either car should chime in, I would love to see where our opinions agree and differ - my write up was obviously not meant to be authoritative in any sense.

 

The 996RS is very hard indeed, but that's one of the things that make the car special for me.

 

Once Again!
