The only place to test the limits on an RS is on the track. It’s just way to fast and planted. Doing 150 feels like you’re doing 90. You have to be careful with the beast.

I have all the same thoughts. On paper it shouldn't be as good as it is, but then again, that's Porsche's magic.

Can the 991.1 3RS be DD or a weekend non-track car?
Too much for the streets , as in stiff or neg attention getting?
Have concerns about the 991.1 3.8, so not looking there.

its possible. But you have nearly NO fun.
991 RS for me is only fun if REALLY pushing.

Congrats! We have similar taste. I also went from 991.2 GTS to an RS (miss the manual though).

Any regrets going from X5M to the Macan? I also have an X5M and looking for my next daily driver. Leaning heavily towards another X5M as I love my current one.

Congrats awesome car
I have had 28 P cars so far ( 5 at the moment ) and I can say that all were great . The RS is in a class by itself.
I always feel like my adrenalin has spiked while driving it .
Good luck

Congrats!
Yes, the .2 is even better. It brings back some of the rawness that the .1 lacks. Back to a proper GT car!

Congrats. Beauty. Rumor on the street is that White is the fastest RS.
