There is barely any understeer in a GT3. Much less than nearly every car out there no matter who the make or the model. The new GT3/GT3 RS have both adopted a suspension more similar to that of the 997 GT2, which in understated terms, is a masterpiece. They have used a softer anti roll, but have also worked in stiffer springs. Makes the car feel even sharper (if that possible in a porsche let alone a GT3), even more neutral and lighter.

Actually the 997.1 GT3 and RS for that matter (2007-2008 model years) came with 235 width front tires. In stock form, the car would push on very tight turns which is to be expected when running bicycle tires up front. I went to 245 width front on the GT3 and a more aggressive offset on the track wheels for the track setup and that cured it without having to soften up the rear sway bar. The new RS fresh from the factory has none of the understeer since it has 245 width front tires and they are offset further out thanks to the addition of the wheel arches. For the first time in RS history, the front is wider as well as the rear.

I need to turn the M3 around and take a few more pictures but I do love both of them. The M3 is our family car and bulldog.

Any thoughts on painting the lipstick white?

I would sleep in that engine bay. I would find a way.

love the lipstick actually and it is paint and not a separate piece that snaps in so you would have to repaint the entire front bumper. The factory made the car that way and its uniquely an RS which is supposed to be loud so I'm 100% fine with it. what i am putting in is motorsport pads for the brakes and the rear half-cage (Oem) that the ROW cars get.

on the next generation, there is always something better which I'm glad for. However I think this may be the last time a 3 RS has the GT1 engine block and goes with the direct injection blocks like the rest of the 911 lineup. Also, with their success of the Hybrid GT3 R at the 24hr race, the next GT3/RS might have front wheel electric drive. I'm sure it will be quick and if i can get my hands on one, i'll probably go for it, but if that happens, i'm just keeping this one for the collection.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the price on these cars? I know for sure they gotta be higher than U.S. prices.

Very nice stable. I love white cars too.
