In 2003, Porsche introduced the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, an even more track-focused version of the 996 GT3. RS is short for the German RennSport, literally "racing sport" in English. The "RS" moniker, and the characteristic lightweight blue or red wheels and "GT3 RS" side stickers link the 996 GT3 RS to historically important Porsches such as the Carrera 2.7 RS of the early 1970s. The 996 GT3 RS is lighter than the 996 GT3 thanks to a polycarbonate rear window, carbon fiber hood and rear wing. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brakes, which are also more heat and fade resistant than the cast iron units fitted as standard, are optional.
The 996 GT3 RS has a slightly different engine specification to the 996 GT3. The cylinder heads of the 996 GT3 RS have reshaped intake and exhaust ports for race homologation. Porsche claim the same 381 hp (284 kW) power output as the standard GT3 but Porsche's control dyno showed a jump to nearly 400 hp (298 kW) The RS also has progressive springs rather than linear. The dampers are uprated and are between 10 and 15 percent stiffer than the 996 GT3 in bounce and rebound.
The wheel carriers are totally redesigned to maximize the improved dynamic camber control. The suspension top mounts can be turned 120 degrees to a cup car position. Both front and rear control arms are adjustable. The RS is 3 mm (0.1 in) lower than the 996 GT3.
The RS rear wing delivers 35 kg (77 lb) of downforce at 125 mph (201 km/h). The RS has ram air ducts on the engine bay which force air into the intake with 18mb of pressure at 187 mph (301 km/h) and this is enough to create an additional 15 bhp (11 kW; 15 PS). That extra bhp cannot be homologated since the official engine output figures are certified on a dynanometer.
The Porsche 996 GT3 RS had a production run from 2003 to 2005. Only 140 right hand drive 996 GT3 RS cars were built by Porsche and 113 of those were officially imported into to the UK. The 996 GT3 RS was not sold in USA or Canada.
Automobile magazines claim the 996 GT3 RS can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in about 4.3 seconds, maintain over 1.0g on the skidpad, and have a top speed of around 190 mph (306 km/h).
Yes, 2003. It's not like we're talking 1950 here.
Being passed by a Civic in this car would be completely humiliating.

Pas pire si pire, mais je suis pas encore sure du setup d'exhaust
Il me semble avais lu a quelques part 13,7-13,8
Merci, c'est ce que j'imaginais...
Je suis pas mal sur qu'au Québec on va en voir plus sur les pistes de drag que sur les circuits routiers. Et à ce prix là, ça devrait avoir une bonne tenue de route ET une bonne accélération.
Et pour le commun des mortels, la vraie référence c'est le 1/4 de mile, pas le fucking Nurburgring, like it or not.

The 1/4 mile is a reference for how much money you have to spend on a powerful engine. The Nurburgring or any other road course however bundles all performance aspects, acceleration, braking, aero, and cornering.
But most importantly outside of record setting, turns are what separate the "Mon pere est riche en tabarnack" from the real drivers. Any rich idiot can walk into a dealership, get a Demon and beat just about every other person's car from a stop light but I'll only applaud the 1/4 mile "shitbox" that goes around the Demon like he's stopped in a turn because they're to scared to go fast in anything but a straight line.
Monsieur et madame tout le monde qui achète des voitures sports sont rarement des pilotes aguerris qui font de la track les week-ends. Oui c'est le fun une auto qui a un bonne tenue de route mais de là à payer 50k pour un char qui fait du 13,8...non merci. Je prendrais une focus RS avant ca personnellement, au moins t'as la traction intégrale.
