|
 |
|
I recently acquired this Mexico blue RS......
I have to say the performance has been a revelation.
Obviously I expected it to be fast but the overall package has far exceeded my
expectations.
I had foreseen it would be a special occasion/ track day special and be
a very firm ride difficult to live with- however at low speed just cruising around it’s more comfortable than my previous 991 GTS.
It really is easy to live with and a pleasure to drive even at low speeds.
And then when you put your foot down in a fraction of a second it transforms into a raging speeding monster that you can hear from 2 miles away.
I had my heart set on a Ultra Violet one- but when this car cropped up I couldn’t resist....

Lovely colour and car. I'd take this over the Ultra Violet every day of the week.

Yes- it’s the one from JZM ........I’m absolutely thrilled with the car-
But it’s best I don’t talk about the level of service from JZM
The car has PCCB’s , front axle lift, cruise control, full buckets etc etc
Everything you’d want-

No- it wasn’t Nick W’s.
Apparently there are only about 5 Mexico blue 991.1 GT3 RS UK cars- so I’ve been told....

Hi-
It’s without doubt a more comfortable and compliant ride over rubbish bumpy roads than my 991.1 GTS was. I’ve never owned a GT3....

Ah, I mis-read that, even more surprising! Those vents on the top of the front wings, so cool (literally).
