I'm so in love with the RS



Picked this up today...



Will post some thoughts on the R8 RWS later... jumping from the GT3 RS to the R8 you really start to appreciate how much everyone hypes the 997 GT3 RS... it's tactile, visceral, and savage AF.

i wonder if you can wrap the silver cap near the rear window black and black out the logos or No that's too cliche.

^Oh yeah, I was there too.

Those S2k folks are definitely in it to win it.

Meanwhile, I got DNF for my first 4 laps because I forgot to zigzag around a set of cones. Should have paid more attention during the course walk.

When you're heading out of town for the summer and le gf doesn't have a car and you're taking the truck... Two days of lessons and letting her drive to school these couple days before I hit the road.

Pray for my clutch and driveline

I just want the NWT plate

UnknownjinX I didn't know that was you. That back slalom gave a lot of people issues. Hope you had fun.

I managed to pickup 10th overall, 2nd PAX and 1st in class. I was beat by Gord in his S2K ripping it up on slicks.

My fiancé has NWT plates numbers 13 and 16. Back from ‘79 when it was first official. Wish those could be used back into circulation

Hey TouringTeg, I bought the M2 as a DD. I was actually planning on a getting a 2015/16 M4 because I thought it was a better value than a M2. Overall, the M2 is better driver's car than I anticipated. The small footprint, huge torque, and awesome front end grip makes the M2 an awesome squirt and go traffic car. I have 3K km on it now and really appreciate the modified N55 motor. The overall power to weight ratio on the M2 is not that impressive, but in real life, the car is so balanced. With 369 lb ft of torque available at 1500rpms, I noticed taking most turns in 3rd gear is no problem because the torque will pull you out of turns. The turbo lag is so minimal, you barely notice it Vs NA. The car also sounds amazing as well. The steering is quick and direct, but does lack some feel. If you forget about the E92 M3, the M2 feels like a really powerful evolution of an E46 M3. I am personally not a fan of M cars anymore, but the M2 is the only M car that interests me. I will probably get a M2 Comp next. If you forget about the numbers, the M2 from a driving enjoyment perspective is probably one of the best bang for your buck rides available today! Lots of times, I enjoy driving the M2 more than my 991 GTS. It is just so playful!

Cons: some interior materials are really bad plastic, still has trouble putting down the power in tight turns.

^ The M4 GTS has always been an odd duck to me. It is an amazing car, but will always be a compromise because of the base chassis. For $175K, there are just so many cars far superior to it......991 GT3, Audi R8, Mercedes GTS....etc.....

i think my opinion is the same.


but the details behind the GTS.. something a CS or comp pack can't match!


it is a long term investment piece for sure!
