What is the Spyder RS?

[ralphmusic]

The car is not at its best on long autobahn and autoroute journeys with wind and engine noise but it comes alive on normal country roads. I’ve done around 1200 miles so far on this trip and am looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

I visited a Manthey Porsche GT Circle event at Boxberg on the Stuttgart/Leipzig journey today. This consisted of one group doing Meister driving course in Porsche supplied GT3 RS and two other groups in their own GT cars on general handling and speed training.

Jorg Bergmeister was on hand for the Meister programme but also treated the other groups to a couple of passenger laps on a Manthey full fat GT3RS.

No camera allowed so no pics.

How do you find the DSC controller? Does it dramatically reduce the weight transfer in various braking/turning/accelerating situations?

Would you buy it again if you didn’t already have it?

Is the question in relation to my old Cayman?

No it was relating to your SRS. But upon reflection I think you only suggested that you may need one as opposed to actually having one.

Did your geo eliminate the rear axel hop and the front end vagueness?

The settings are good at my track speeds with turn in and stability under braking being fine.

Along the pit straight at Goodwood there was a momentary hop under full power just by the pit entrance but only IF I was in the middle of the track. Of course one should be closer to the pit wall at that point tracking diagonally left over the length of the pit straight to Madgewick entry and on this line there is no hop.

I have only run at Spa and Goodwood so far and at Spa the setup was also good.

Good news. And on B-roads when pressing on?

I don’t press on sufficiently on public roads.

I don’t press on sufficiently on public roads.

So there is zero drama at legal speeds on twisty roads? Sounds fab.

at legal speeds no car gives any drama these days. Tracks is the only place for the 4RS.
