^^Yep was a blast, When I brought the 12C back member Mkline74 hopped his butt right on in, he enjoyed the car as well but preferred the visceral experience of the 997 GT3RS on the track much better.

I have the same sentiments. The GT3 RS is always a rewarding experience behind the wheel

Nice spec on the 12C WOW! Best one i seen some far. Wheels on the black one posted make a huge difference, these ones above cheapen the car so much, thats why i wasnt a fan of the car all this time.

I would really suggest that you keep the Powertrain in "track" as you definitely get slightly better acceleration



.... and the sound is better
