Black with orange wheels, ceramic brakes. What a stunning car. I've just sold a 996 turbo with an X50 pack. The RS seems quicker. Certainly holds the road better.

One question, how do you clean the back window on the inside?

We don't have this problem in the US. We didn't get the roll bar in our cars.

No roll cage on an RS in the US?

Saves the jokes that I'm getting from mates about keeping scaffolding companies busy!!

Its quite amazing the odd "ping" noise you get from the roll cage when hitting a bump on the pace!

Also you can't fold the carbon fibre seats forward to help rear access, although they will slide an amount. The dealer seemed bemused as how to get to the window also. I could see finger marks on it in the show room light when I went to collect the car.

Bob

Then i would take it to the dealer and have them crawl back there to clean it.

Euro GT3RS is amazing. Comes with everything!
And No US-spec RS's dont come with roll bars or CF seats.

I don't want to rub it in but those seats are blinding. They grip like anything. I've ordered full harnesses for the passenger side also (for track days) but I'm not sure they will be needed.

I don't know if you have it in the US but here you get a Porsche Experience taster in advance of buying your car. You drive an amount both on the roads but also on track.

I was driven by a Porsche racer. I do track days, but I couldn't believe how good the RS was that I was in, but also the driver.

These cars are quite awesome!!

Congrats on the new car! As for the rear window, maybe you can improvise a some type of a towel at the end of a stick devise?
