Adrien - have you driven an RS on the road? I ask as you make out that they're no good for it. Are they that much worse than a garden 3?

Ade,
Thanks for the responses, so you would have had an RS if you had had the xtra £25k at the time you bought your 3, but would you say a fully Manthey'd 3 is a better proposition on the street and track than an RS.
re-sale wise the RS has to be a better proposition, i just prefer silver though! and leather, my interior is spot on!
Ade, maybe you and Sunny should get some GT3RS alike vinyl cut for the lower sides that say GT3 Manthey
Ok, see what you mean. It would certainly be more compromised as a daily driver in these respects. I'd have thought that with the multiple adjustments available on the RS it could be set up to drive however one wished and could be 'retarded' towards std. 3 settings to make it more roady.Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by oceancarrera on 28 December 2006
Sorry Dunc, I didn't intend to imply that they are no good for it as even the normal 3 is compromised compared to a regular 996. The standard RS suspension is better on track than the standard 3. But over normal roads, the RS doesn't flow as well as the standard 3 choosing to bounce in places where a normal 3 would just absorb. The RS is generally slightly more fidgety than a normal 3 although this could have been due to the geo settings of the particular car I drove. But the key area for me is that an RS is just less practical than a normal 3 for road use: witness plastic windows, no rear heating element etc.But a Manthey suspended 3 is better than both a regular 3 and RS.Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by Dunc on 28 December 2006
