Trying to Hanging with Porsche 911 and GT3 RS at GA mountain.

Corrected it for you.

Corrected it for you.

Thanks Man. Yes, I think the DE5 is really capable of hanging with these other bad boys in the twisties. Really fun getting some props from the Porsche’s owners on how well the car performed.

Got some carbon fiber trim from eBay to cover the grey plastic. Looks pretty neat!

How would you rate the fitment? Was the tape they supplied quality stuff? Like the suma mirrors as well ?

Fitment was much better than expected, mounting tapes were the generic types and they've only been on for a few days so not sure how well they'll hold up.

I'll update if they start to fall off

Feed it some corn. ..ya never know

Definitely not straight line acceleration , but quite capable in twisty roads.

On the road, a GT3RS is insane overkill. Call me crazy but I'd rather be in an ITS where I can extract most if not all of the available performance than get blue balls driving a GT3RS that can only tap 1/10th of its potential on a public road without committing a felony.

Would I turn down an opportunity to drive a GT3RS on a twisty mountain road? No. But the ITS is a better fit, and as long as the driver of the RS isn't driving extremely unsafe, I'm sure it can keep up just fine.

Even the its is way too much for the road. It can touch roughly 1.2G peaks on the ps4s, so tapping even 60% of its potential on the road is horendously dangerous and would make passengers seriously pucker. Not to mention it's a 10:1 car, so even at modest paces, when you put your foot down you'll be doing 100mph quickly.

A street only driven gt3rs is like marrying a playmate and never consumating.

Absolutely. What I meant about "extracting most if not all potential" was that you can actually hit redline in 2nd without breaking the law. Same can't really be said about the GT3RS, as amazing a car as it is- and that's not even bringing downforce into the conversation- but you're spot on that even the "slow" ITS is more than enough to get you in trouble very quickly. I remember a time when a 13-second quarter mile time was impressively fast.

Even the F82 M4 I had, to me it was actually frustrating to know how much power the car had, but feel forced to restrain yourself from using it. Cars are just so powerful these days; which is why I will continuously maintain that the ITS doesn't need any more power.

It makes me actively miss the days of ringing out my KA24E 240SX. That thing ran in the mid 15s in the 1/4 mile but I could put my foot to the floor and get the sensation of running up to redline and "rowing through the gears" basically anywhere I went. To me, that's a huge part of what defines a "fun" driving experience on a public road. It's not like you can't have fun in an M4 or even a GT3RS... but there's a part of the experience of driving those cars that is actually frustrating that is (mostly) missing in the ITS, and part of why I love this car so much. I know that might not make sense to many people.

I saw a video of an EK9 Civic Type R not long ago and after watching that I think I may want one of those more than another Porsche that can go 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.

I get that some people enjoy the sensation of acceleration from a car with big power (or possibly the thrill of routinely breaking the law...), but that's just not me, at least not anymore.
