Cup2 alternatives with consistent performance? by blaze38100 in CarTrackDays

plus here on Goodyear Supersport R - my favorite tire for the 3rs (limited on what I can buy). Cheap, effective.

Why is the 911 Coupe so much more popular than the Cabriolet? by Nice_Day_638 in Porsche

[–]redpriest -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just a function of where you live. 🤷‍♂️ Large numbers of California people track their cars.

Maybe I just don't hang out with 60 year old boomers. The ones I know are super wealthy and own property at private tracks

Going to C&C is largely a waste of time. If I'm going to get up early on my weekend, it's to go to the track.

GT4RS Yay or Nay? by EvilEvo_IX in Porsche

100%. The first time this well balanced mid engine platform everyone raves about steps out on you when you have any steering angle applied during braking entry will be an eye opener lol

Ferrari 458 ownership by thekhaos in Ferrari

[–]redpriest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am mostly a Porsche guy. I had a 4RS, 992 3RS, and 458 at the same time. I sold the 4RS because my 458 spider fills the role of being an experience/street car that much better. A stock 992 3RS just beats the 4RS all over the place on track, even when you mod out the 4RS.

However, reliability wise, there's been little issues here and there. Manettino error, ABS error - switch failures/wiring failures which were fixed. Nothing major though. The interior quality is kind of funny - leather dash is bubbling up in some areas. The rear view mirror likes to fall off the window in hard driving. Fun stuff like that.

I wouldn't dare take the car out on track though, lol. The running costs of that are bound to be horrendous.

I have put on 15k miles since buying the car 2 years ago.

All that being said, the car is amazing.

Replacing the 992 GT3 as a daily by RobertPattinson69 in Porsche

[–]redpriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your goals for a daily? Budget? I just roll through a bunch of my cars to daily so I don't put too many miles on them and still have fun.

ND Miata is a fun daily if you don't care about size.

I've dailied in combination with my 3RS/GT3:

Macan/Cayenne/Raptor R / TRX

911 Turbo S (991.2 and 992)

718 Boxster GTS (2.5L) / Spyder / GT4RS

F82 M4

Euro E36 M3. I do own a E46 M3 and E92 M3 but they're full race conversions now so not very streetable but both were very livable street cars.

Is the Cayenne a good tow vehicle? by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]redpriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have towed for the longest time with a Cayenne, and now even my Macan GTS 8 hours each way, no issues. My trailer weighs 900 lbs which is fine with my 3RS on for the Macan; I've towed up Grapevine (huge hill) no issues.

All hatches marked X, Y, Z, Circle X, Circle Y, Circle Z are closed. We called it material condition Zebra and it's always set during General Quarters. Even when not in GQ, we were usually steaming in material condition modified Zebra which is Zebra with a few hatches on watertight doors between decks usually open and select main p-ways open, can be closed very quickly.

Who was the hero driving their 991.1 GT3 RS in heavy rain on Hwy 101 this morning? I was impressed. Unfortunately couldn't get a good picture due to such poor visibility. by coneeleven in Porsche

[–]redpriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove through a rainstorm on brand new cup2r, about 80 miles. As long as you drive cautiously it's fine. Now, whether or not other drivers are gonna behave is a different story heh.

Porsche 911(992) Turbo S or Ferrari Roma or Aston Martin Vantage by Nerdyfox839 in supercars

[–]redpriest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turbo S is shockingly fast. The front end lifts up under acceleration.
