My FH5 Log: The best of the 997 era

Having accumulated 25 points at the FH5 Series 4 Dry Season playlist, I got my hands on what is known to be the best of the 997-era 911s. It's called the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 and I'm glad I got my hands on the best 997 ever made.


Limited to 600 units worldwide, the ultimate GT3 RS is powered by a 4.0L flat-six engine producing 500HP of power, making this the most powerful naturally-aspirated flat-six engine ever made. It was powered by a 6-speed manual gearbox to keep the purists happy to drive wherever they go but it's not just the performance of the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 delivers, it's the track-honed precision that stands out from the rest and with the extensive use of lightweight materials as well as stripping out unnecessary materials such as the rear seat, it weighs 1,360kg with a full tank fo fuel, resulting to its power-to-weight ratio of 3kg/HP. It was the first production Porsche to come with front air deflection vanes, which adds downforce on the front axle, and with the combination of the large fixed rear wing as well as other aerodynamic upgrades, it can exert an additional 190kg of force.


With the quick info done, it's time to give the best 997-era 911 ever made a short trip it will never forget. Roll the tape.



Enjoy your new ride!
