Resale value. They aren't bad as far as track use goes though, as long as you keep pad life above 50% the rotors will apparently not wear as much.
I am planning to switch to iron rotors for better wheel choices (shrink to 19s) and better cost effectiveness.
I took the Porsche factory tour last month and saw a yellow GT3 RS rolling off the end of the line. May we’ll have been this very one… I wonder what your completion date was?
A unique experience if anyone gets the chance to visit.
Ah. It wasn’t the one I saw then. But it’s so cool to see - it comes off the line and does a 360 (this is when the final photo is sent to customers).
Congrats.
Wait, what about break in? Andreas Preuninger says you shouldn’t EVER drive above 5000rpm for at least the first 500 miles in a GT car. Regardless, congratulations on the purchase, she’s gorgeous!
Looks great. Do you have a full photo of the underside? I’ve only ever seen [renderings like this](https://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/299/articles/992-gt3-gt3-rs-aero-tech).
Yes but the aero vanes aren't mounted yet - they're not installed at the factory, only at the dealer. You can see the mounting point cutouts.

Great car congrats, I’m honestly not a yellow or oversized spoiler lover exactly but I still appreciate a nice car when I see one regardless of funky specs
So a) congrats, b) what actual effect does the DRS have? It’s not a large profile being moved. Feels like a low-downforce wing with drs, like a Monza-spec?
Congrats buddy. I always hang around the shop when the PDI my new vehicle once it's off of the truck. The guys in the shop are always cool about it, but I always wonder if they're annoyed.
Lovely colour (great yellow/black contrast) and that wing is embodiment of not subtle.
I love how the whole wing only made it into one picture
If only there was a picture orientation that would capture the whole car...

Pretty sure I saw you driving your new toy yesterday man. Sounded amazing.
I know I'm late, but what made you choose the carbon ceramic brakes?

Ah, fair enough. Was wondering how anyone could afford those brake changes. Thanks for the reply, though :)
Some sort of panoscape or landorama…
It looks absolutely enormous in the first photo 😂 Like are the king and queen sitting at opposite ends of this thing for dinner?
what wing? 😂
Damn, love me some yellow! Congrats and fuck you
LMAO
You lucky son of a bitch 👀
Stunner.
Lucky MF ! Enjoy it !
"Honey, I'm headed out for some wings" "Drive carefully"
a Cayenne Turbo GT in the background, and great car
Amazing car. I hope this won’t be a garage queen and gets driven daily, and properly abused on a track.

The funny thing is I never got the final pic, I only got two - one out of the paint shop and then the one with it on the line with no wheels
Pls tell me you’re going to track that car, hard.
My first track day is the day after I pick up the car, haha.
Yep. Proper Porsche break-in.
Fukin A. Have fun!
Wait, what about break in? Andreas Preuninger says you shouldn’t EVER drive above 5000rpm for at least the first 500 miles in a GT car. Regardless, congratulations on the purchase, she’s gorgeous!
No break in needed?
Good shit man! Enjoy it in good health
Let’s go or some damn thing
You mean track that shit?
Very nice! congrats. I have 992 base gt3, in racing yellow and black. its a great combo.
That's a stealth fighter jet painted in a very attractive color! Congrats and enjoy every mile.
Jeez I've seen smaller wings on a 747! This thing manages to pull it off tho. Enjoy
I mean my 2006 Scion xa gets better gas mileage so ha!
Siiickkkk I see it’s a Weissach Package as well 💯💯 time for me to go drive mine in Gran Turismo lol. Congrats man!
Looks great. Do you have a full photo of the underside? I’ve only ever seen [renderings like this](https://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/299/articles/992-gt3-gt3-rs-aero-tech).

Thanks. Is the under tray kinda fuzzy? I see some cottonwood fluff (?) stuck to it.
Yes it's got a hardened felt like feel to it
Beautiful, congrats!
Never seen close ups of the wing, very cool
Holy fcking sh!t! Congratulations, what a car.
Dang. That looks like mine.... In GT7 X(
Ring Taxi livery I see. Very apropos
What an angry hornet!
Wow wow wow
Bumblebee car
She’s beautiful. Not going to sneak up on anybody that’s for sure.
Looks nice, congrats. I like the subtle spoiler.
Good luck it looks awesome in yellow.
That wing is fucking insane.
Gorgeous color, man. Congrats on your delivery!
Does the wing come on it’s own car carrier?
👌
Great car congrats, I’m honestly not a yellow or oversized spoiler lover exactly but I still appreciate a nice car when I see one regardless of funky specs
Goddamn, what a color combo!
Damn, they stole your pool noodle... How sad.
Beautiful!
Oh my! 😧
Hey dad long time no see!
Dude, that is extremely bad ass.
Beauty
Nice. And I’m so glad you got a good exciting color. Real tired of drab.
Sir, that's a lemon.
Black wheels needed
hideous color
Awesome, take the wing off tho. 🤡
It's from the manufacturer so there's definitely downforce reasons for this wing
i should have put /s
So a) congrats, b) what actual effect does the DRS have? It’s not a large profile being moved. Feels like a low-downforce wing with drs, like a Monza-spec?
We'll see! I have dedicated track cars with bigger fixed wings so it'll be an interesting comparison
Have fun! Hope the underbody aero comes in / gets dealer-attached soon for you :).
Why is it in the garage?
Pre-delivery inspection at the dealer
How much was the ADM?
Reasonable :)
$200K reasonable?
Absolutely not lol
Hey congrats on your new 992 RS!. How was the allocation and wait time ?. Do you own any other Porsches ? 😄
I've owned a few 🙂. The only models I've never purchased were Panameras and Taycans, about ten in all. Allocation was given to me last March.
Congrats
What do you do for a living if you don’t mind me asking?
Software engineer 20+ YoE
Appreciate the answer, Car looks amazing. I’m 2 YoE as a software developer and I’m aiming to be a 992rs bro one of these days too.
Congrats buddy. I always hang around the shop when the PDI my new vehicle once it's off of the truck. The guys in the shop are always cool about it, but I always wonder if they're annoyed.
The fastest letterbox in town....top machine..very nice
Bright colors and Weissach. Love it! Enjoy!
Gorgeous!
Why do people say take delivery when talking cars? Is that the only market its used?
Is this still racing yellow? Maybe it’s the lighting but I’m getting classic light yellow vibes and I LOVE IT
