I like the "looks" of the car and will be fun to see it running at the track - but will stay with my 997. Can't wait to see what the replacement cost of the 21" tires!

Best looking 991 to-date. Love the colors too. Kinda glad they went with a sticker-delete version. I'm sure it will be a beast! People have complained how it's not that different from the 991 GT3, but neither was the 997-1 RS compared to the 997 GT3. So no surprises there.

The negatives: 1) the cabin could be more spartan and 2) the general size of the car is just really big but that's more of a criticism I've had of the platform overall.

I think it looks awesome and the addition of purple as a standard color is great.

It's interesting to note that nobody who posted in this thread complained about the lack of a manual transmission (I know I forgot to mention it...). Guess we're all past that point. Porsche won...

Overall, pretty badass. RS graphics are missing, but then it would have been really busy with the front grills and side intakes (both of which I dislike). I don't like the panamerica center console, and the 911 keeps getting bigger, but that's across the platform. I like the launch color.

Edit [to Ilko's post] I'm glad I have a 6 speed RS.
