Default Giesha at Sebring

Here is a video at Sebring last weekend

I have been asked a bunch the differences between the 997.2 RS and the 997.1 non RS. I can tell you from driving both at Sebring they are two completely different cars. The 997.1 running 2:26.7 was twitchy. The 997.2 RS running 2:26.1 was very stable and I left time on the table. I have some work to do on the dangerous spin corners.

If you track and are considering a 997.1 over a 997.2, it is no brainer 997.2

These laps were on Toyo RA1, 245/335 (well over 40 heat cycles on fronts). It was over 90F out, track was greasy towrds the end of the day

A few points
1. Suspension is very different
2. Dynamic engine mounts work. Off gas in the bumps the car is smooth, on gas connected. If you track this is a must have option.....I think better than solid mount
3. Aero is noticable (old car was non RS)
4. Car feels to have much more grip
5. Gearing is different, I am not exactly sure what gear to be in the slow corners
6. Torque is noticable

I think I put mt TM in backwards Click the image to open in full size. Gas is brake, but you get the idea
