[dingo]

I think it might be a good idea to post thumbnails as these images are HUGE! :wink: I hope you have your custom shot.....I didn't let all the pics load so I can't tell. :(

[RS Patrik]

Custom shot sent earlier to TT.

[astonmartinandy]

Wow that looks fantastic! So what was it like to drive around the Nurburgring then?? Any videos?

[RS Patrik]

Right car, right track, wrong driver!

Seriously, fantastic, but as the track is very demanding, I have no wish to end in the Armco, there "fairly" modest speed.
No video, as you are only allowed to film during the Scuderia Course

[TT]

Ok I did some editing to the pics and here is Patrick's custom shot!

Too bad the car is stored for the winter (I guess the whole winter). We would have liked some nice pics of your car in a nice location, but well, you don't live in Florida and I guess the RS is not the right car for cold and snowy winters :D Maybe later ;) right?

http://img123.exs.cx/img123/4668/patrickrs.jpg

[Imre]

I saw carrera rs(red) is sweden.It was in the end of August and i think porsche club had a meeting.Was it you?Very nice car.

[RS Patrik]

I have got a few more taken of me at the Ring, sent to TT already, perhaps he can resize and post them for me...
I almost only use this car for track driving, which tend to do atleast a couple of times each month with Porsche Club in Sweden, where we drove in August at Anderstorp Race Track, we were actually 3 identical RS's there and then.

Never been to Norway, but the Club goes 1 time per year to Rudskogen.

[TT]

Err... I admit I used the pics for the signature and not kept them :(
if you want you can send them again!

[dingo]

ah....thats better, nice pics. :D I must congratulate you on a great car, looks sensational....my favourite of the 996 Porsches. :D
If this is mainly a track car, what do you use as a daily driver?

[RS Patrik]

Err... I admit I used the pics for the signature and not kept them :(
if you want you can send them again!

OK, will do. I'll send some others if I can find them. Canyou pls use the nice license plate blocker instead of me spraying...

Thanks,

My daily driver is my trusty Jeep Cherokee-96, which I love to bits. Consider to change into a X5 4.4 though.
Need a car that can tow the RS.

Sure dude, I will do the plate thing on all your pics again ;)

[budagboy2]

Aswome i love the gt3 rs, did you make a video when you were at the ring?

[st-anger]

...again, nice to have ya here Patrick hope we can talk a bit more in Porsche Central one day when i´ll be back and´ll have more time - i also have "quite some" :wink: experience with the RS and i´m sure we´ll be able to share some of our stuff with the JW community :P

[Ill Dottore]

Wow!

A really really cool ncar. i wish i had the money to buy me one of those

I envy you!

Cheers!

[mindgam3]

dam nice choice mate

[jon_s]

At last! An RS owner!

Fantastic! Looking forward to summer when you unwrap the car lol...........for the JW photoshoot! hehe

[Anonymous]

Another great car added to the JW car registry :D 8) Looking stunning too, nice to see it in probably its best environment too at the track in your lovely sig :D congrats lovely car :D

[SPEEDKILLAR]

An amazing beast, a natural machine but watch out for a 360 CS.........lol

[coombsie66]

WOW! What a car to have as a track car! Damn i just love that car. Excellent choice mate.
Oh, i can recomend the X5 4.4, me and my dad tested one a few years back, fook me does it move! Pretty rapid for a car of its size, handles and stops really well too. I dont think it would have any trouble at all in towing the nice light weight porker! :D

[RC45]

That there is the only P911 variant I lust after.. :twisted:

Great car... :)

[Pimp Racer]

Nice and Ilike the name of the color India red! Is that whats it really called?

[TT]

Awesome car man, good choice in the color as well. The blue looks a bit wierd! LOL

Consider me blind then.

I would take an RS over any of the F360 variants.. ;)

[T-Bird]

OK First off I have to say that is a sweet ass ride man and I would die to have one.

But now you all are going to think I have major brain hemoraging because I would take a Ford over this and the Ferrari.

[BADMIHAI]

Very very very nice indeed. You've bought one hell of a car. 8)

[Schwalbe]

Welcome on JW RS Patrik !

To have a Porsche 996 GT3 RS and to be able to drive it on the famous circuit of Nordschleife it's really the best dream of many people, like me. You are really lucky. That's cool for you ! I hope to see you taken part in the Porsche Central to share with us your experiment.

Cheers ! :D


we have Stevie Wonder here! only a blind person would take a Porsche over a Ferrari haha nice car dude should be a great car for the money


Me also just like RC45 I can be blind, but I prefer Porsche GT3 RS over any Ferrari 360. :wink:

Porsche rules !

[RS Patrik]

The myth over Ferrari is bigger than Porsche, but in terms of quality. We all know Germans are unbeatable. Besides, cambelt change that you have to do every 24 month on a Ferrari is a joke. A friend of mine is about to do on his Testarossa, $5000 will that cost.

[styla21]

..Though how much a fan belt will cost is not usually the deciding factor when buying an exotic, is it? :wink:
RS Patrik, may i extend a welcome to you, congratulate you on your awesome choice in car, and look forward to discussing all things motor, with you.

[saadie]

wow .. awsome car patrick ... i just love it ..... i really hated porsche until i saw the GT3 RS in a showroom when i went to KSA as theres no showroom here .... outta ma 3 hrz in diiff showrooms ..... GT3 RS took somethin like 40 mins 8) 8)

""At last! An RS owner! "" yep .... :D

[blah]

That there is the only P911 variant I lust after.. :twisted:

Great car... :)

GT2 Club Sport? :twisted:

[RC45]

That there is the only P911 variant I lust after.. :twisted:

Great car... :)

GT2 Club Sport? :twisted:

A little too spartan, even for me - the last 911 Club Sport I was intimate with was in 1994 - and that edition only had a drivers seat... and I do all my driving with a co-pilot. ;)

[RS Patrik]

GT2 Clubsport is the roughly the same as a GT3 Clubsport or a GT3 RS, if we talk about the interiour.

[RC45]

GT2 Clubsport is the roughly the same as a GT3 Clubsport or a GT3 RS, if we talk about the interiour.

Hhmmm.. so the Club Sports have 2 seats then? Sorry Patrik.. I may have to start lusting after the GT2 afterall.. ;) :lol: hehe

[Wutputt]

Great car, Patrik. I'm sure you will enjoy every last little bit of it. It's a great trackday car. And driving it on the Nordschleife is one hell of a combination. I wish you a lot of fun with it, which you will certainly have :D

[bmwmpower]

nice car, :D

[extraducksauce]

i hate you because you are driving the car of my dreams. :shock:
just kidding, i would rather have that over that ferrari stradale anyday of the week.

nice car, the pics at the Ring are really nice ! :D
congrats !!

[nthfinity]

a very nice car indeed.

i fear i will never actually see an RS in person since none were allocated for the US. thanks for the pictures! and i am definately glad to hear that your car is tracked :)

oh, is your Jeep a Cherokee, or Grand Cherokee?... id imagine the Grand Cherokee if you are towing the porsche. mine is in my sig.

My bro has a Grand Cherokee Limited 2001 Blue....DAMNNNNNNNNNn...

Anyways RC, you can still just get the Regular GT2 and eat ferraris. Except for jabbas lambo.

[novass]

Damn fine car dude. I really like the RS, definitely one of my favorite Porsches. Must have been a hell of a lot of fun driving that around the Ring! Sweet car :D

[nurbrun]

Damn nice car and Welcome :P .

it must have been amazing to go around the Nurburgring!

2 questions:

Do you have your best lap time? maybe you can share it with JW :D .

how long did it take you to get a feel around the ring?

[SPEEDCORE]

Very nice car to have as a track car :) :mrgreen:

[RS Patrik]

Nope, it is the Cherokee 4.0 High Output. Works perfect as a tow rig.

Best lap time, I have never clocked myself. Find no particular use if you have driven less than 100 laps, then it may start to make sense.

Jackie Stewart once said: "if you think the Nordschleife is easy, you drive to slow."

Got the feel, hmm, I have done between 90-100 laps, not really sure ( did 50 laps in September, and roughly 40 in April), but after 40 laps you start to remember the 147 corners ( yes it is that many, th course is 21 km long...) But this doesn't mean you know the perfect line, that will take more than that.

[sameerrao]

Lovely car Patrik ...

Does GT3-RS come standard with PCCB? And how are your brakes holding off after your 90 laps of the Ring

[RS Patrik]

The GT3 RS does not come with PCCB as standard, I think they are 91 000 SEK= roughly € 12 000.
This is silly money in my book, and no I do have them. The 2004 Cup car does not either, so why should I then.
People who complain about the Porsche breaks are using them wrong!

This car has not done 90 laps, "only" 50. I did 40 with my RS-92 which now has been sold. However I have done almost all track days possible with the Porsche Club Sweden, and they are more wearing on the breaks than the Ring, I have probably only used a third of the breaks!!

[rob_e1]

Nice car patrick. I ran my esprit v8 against an identical car at pistonheads vmax recently - very similar performance, maybe the 911 just had the edge in a straight line but it was very close.

Did you try a 'regular' GT3? Is the RS worth the premium?

[RS Patrik]

My brother has a Mk1 GT3 which I have driven, can't say that I "feel" a huge difference, but throttle response and turn in are better. This is valid in a Mk II version as well.

I didn't look at the price comparion when doing the purchase as wasn't interested in a normal GT3. I had a 964 RS, and in that car, you have so much fun for that kind money it is unbeatable.
Not to say that I am not enjoying the GT3RS, but it is not 3 tiimes more fun...
It is just the car of my dreams... :D

[TT]

Some pics of the two together maybe? :) wich color the GT3?

Here it is:

[TT]

Very nice in black :D would be for sure great to see them together :D

[dingo]

That looks great.....as TT said, some nice pics together would look great, or even a video. :P
Does your bro also live in Sweden?

He also lives in Sweden.
The video I am trying to pull together, unfortunately he is behind me all the time...

Patrik, you must have already done some long drives on the car (e.g. to get to the Ring and back from Sweden) ... how is the car on regular roads, highways and bumps and all that.

Some magazines were saying that the GT3-RS was a very hard riding car for the road. I want to get an opinion from an owner :)

Boys,
not a problem.

When breaking in the car, I drove it on long trips (instead of trailering). First trip was to Kinnekulle Ring (Racetrack) it was 450km's (one-way). 2nd long trips was to Gelleråsen (Racetrack), 600km's (one-way)

Both long and frustrating trips, trying to keep the right foot steady and not pushing is hard in this car, but as I wanted to do the breaking in properly, 2000km's instead of the 1000km as the manual said, this is the way to do it. Keeps the engine really warm for many hours and and varius rpm's as well.

Now back to the question, you can obviously not compare the seats to for example with the new comfort seat BMW 5 series have, they are to die for, but this is not intended to be a comfortable car. The seats in my old RS-92 was harder, so for me these are comfortable :D
I am sure a lot of people would be better off in a 996 Turbo or such, that has comfortable seats but still sporty, but for me not an option because I like it like this, it is a part of the package. What would be nice though, is a cruise control, after a couple of hours the right leg tends to cramp...

But for normal highway driving it is fine no problems at all, more problems to keep with in the speedlimits!

PS. TT trying to find the manual for my videocamera to download some vids...

Thanks for the writeup :D

And would be perfect if you could find some vids :D The RS could end up beeing Miss February :D

For a moment I thought you wanted to take a custom shot for the videocamera too :D

great car! as the new version of our RS, i wanted my dad to get one bad but new body style is here so hopefully one will be out soon, none the less a perfect choice :)

[RS Patrik]

The 997 GT3 will be around during the summer months, but a new RS soon, I wouldn't hold my breath on that, as the last RS (993) was produced in 1995.

Here are the RS versions available:

911 RS-73
911 RS-74
911 SC RS-83 (only 20 made, I haven't even seen a pic...)
911 RS-92
911 RS-95
911 GT3 RS-04

I thought you couldn't get a 996 GT3RS in the US ?

And for what I've read so far, no 997 GT3 in the US either :wink:

I also doubt it, didn't they make do the GT3RS also because of the 40th celebration ? I do remeber porsche annoced the mk1 GT3 as being the new rs
Sure hope they don't do one since we have normal 997 GT3 on order :D like you said they will be releasing it around juli/august. We should get ours october/november, first one in Belgium :P

[ikon2003]

[nismodave]

[FPVPSI]

Very, very very nice car...i love the color combo...i actaully saw one on the road here not too long ago...fell on my ass... :lol:

ohh i have managed to find a link to the 83 RS...

- http://www.supercars.net/garages/EBoNix3000/32v2.html
- http://www.theautobahn.com/forum/showcar.php?do=overview&car_model_id=190

mmm, the car in the first link is allmost certainly a racecar... 8)...but the car in the second link looks like the road going version...

[RS Patrik]

Thanks for the links.
The Rothmans car I have seen before but not a street version, not really sure if the white one is such, could be a race car without the sponsor logos. Also I am not sure if any of the 20 cars were made as a street car.

[FPVPSI]

^^ No prob's...ill look into it more, and ill post it in the Porsche section if i find any more info...ohh Welcome ...enjoy ur stay at Resort Jab... 8)

[gemarti21]

I love this car...

[speedracer911]

Awesome car. Congrats on being able to own such a car. Its good to see its not a car that just sits in your garage for you to look at. A guy i know gave me a ride in his 2004 GT3 clubsport at infineon raceway in sonoma, CA and it was awesome. i was speechless after we got off the track. I can only imagine what it would be like to drive the RS.

[dennist4]

WHAT a nice car man, you must be very lucky whith that car :D :shock: :shock: :lol: 8) :twisted:

[callen]
