Vehicle Description
NV BOKER SALE---FOR SALE BY OWNERYour dad warned you about this
Porsche. Dont let its red lipstick and wide hips persuade you, he
said, because the only thing that follows that car is trouble.
Speeding tickets, too. But you cant help yourself. That roof-high
wing perched on aluminum struts, those foot-wide rear tires, and
those red wheels (red wheels!) keep piquing your interest.Youre not
alone. We couldnt help ourselves when the car arrived, as we ogled
the red detailing (yes, even the seat belts) and that 3.8-liter
flat-six hanging over the rear axle. This is, in essence, the fast
version of the GT3. Thanks to a bump in compression, its engine
makes 450 horsepower at 7900 rpm; redline arrives 500 rpm after.
The front and rear tires are larger and 55 pounds of stuff
irrelevant to diving fast has been disposed of. Who needs door
handles?The RS offers engagement on the most visceral level. It is
frighteningly old school, threatening to break you for one
misstep.Acceleration runs prove surprisingly simple: Dump the
clutch at 2500 rpm and hold on. The Michelin Pilot Cup rubber
nibbles at the asphalt most of the way through first. After that,
its a matter of hitting 8000-rpm shifts and basking in the howl
from the center-mounted tailpipes. The RS reaches 60 mph in 3.5
seconds, and the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 120.7 mph. Not
impressed? Consider that the GT3 RS is merely rear-drive, naturally
aspirated, and has one of those supposedly antiquated transmissions
you have to shift yourself.This 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is one of
1600 3.8L cars produced and has been driven just under 12k miles
since new. This GT3RS also has some custom options costing over
$21,000, including, Custom Titanium Exhaust System, Competition 4.0
Clutch and Linkage plus Brand New Custom Decals in the box for your
personal detailing!
