They certainly needed some kind of a good news story on the site after this weeks giving up on diesel revelation

Looks good but does it really need that "massive" spoiler at the back? 🤔

Similar spoiler to that seen on the GT2 RS, Dave. It does add a lot of down force & it is a specialist track car at the end of the day, although no doubt many will be seen as Garage Queen investments, rather than being driven as they were meant to be. :roll:

I rang my dealer up today to ask about something else but thought I'd wind the sales guy up and say I'd like to put an order in for the GT3 RS and that I'd need a reasonable discount too. He took it pretty well actually - he said there hadn't been much interest in the car and that if I wanted two, he could probably do a good deal. :D

I like your thinking but I'll be honest in saying that it's probably too much car for me. It's a bit conspicuous and having driven a friend's .1 model for an hour through Hertfordshire, it's quite stressful with the front lip, poor road surfaces and speed humps. It was rabidly quick and I think it would be an exercise in restraint not putting it into triple figures let alone keeping it to under 70!

The new car looks like perfection but having seen lizard green, it's louder than viper so they should have sold it under the banner of 'wallflowers need not apply'. :D
