The Equalizer is back for another explosive thriller that will sure leave the viewers getting goosebumps as the action gets even more explosive and even more intense than his previous outing as this sequel film will be worth the ticket puncher to the viewers' faces.
The Equalizer II
With well-known action star Denzel Washington reprising his role from the first film as Robert McCall, EQ2 pushes his own brand of justice over the limit as he takes on his most daring mission yet where everyone's at stake.
I know this is sudden but because this sequel is extremely long for action movie standards, EQ2 delivers two hours of punishing, yet intense, explosive action that will leave viewers muttering how in the world they came up with and sure, with things going on today, we can put action movies like these to blame for such brutal acts we're seeing it now. Yes, with so much blood, bullets, and fistfights thrown into this explosive circus of thrills, viewers can really see Denzel Washington pushing his lead role over the limit and since he went over the limit, there is a chance that this will be the only sequel he'll ever been into and once it's over, no one knows what's next for the main character after delivering his explosive fist of justice to the very end.
As one of the most thrilling films to blow your summer season off, EQ2 really shows how much of a thriller this film is and you can really keep yourself hanging from start to finish until most of your popcorn's fully destroyed from the explosive scenes it delivers.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the hottest, hardest, tightest, and the most exotic 911 of them all that deserves no explanations because once you drive it, you don't need to explain how much of a car this stripped-out sportscar can do because while it's still a chuckable sportscar, the way it behaves is pretty much like a supercar.
I am one of the many people who fell in love with the GT3 RS because this stripped-out beauty delivers some spartan driving manners while taking advantage of its aerodynamics and lightness that makes it go fast everywhere. As times change, is there any way the GT3 RS needs to improve? A lot, perhaps, and this is where its minor change comes into view.
This is the minor change in question. I picked this car up from this month's content update and before taking this new version out for a spin, let's have a little talk about the 911 GT3 RS' minor change. The 991-spec GT3 RS is a no holds barred 911 that combines supercar-level dynamics with sportscar-like packaging and with the latest update, the new model pushes its envelope to deliver the ultimate driving experience Porsche enthusiasts are onto it now.
The naturally-aspirated 4.0L boxer-6 engine has been upgraded to produce 20HP more than the previous model so now it delivers 520HP of power and while mated to an improved 7-speed PDK, it delivers an improved top speed of 312kph. Focusing mostly on its dynamics, the new model features a much improved racing chassis and lightweight construction, drawing inspiration from its ultimate variant, the GT2 RS. The Weissach package features carbon fibre body and interior parts, magnesium wheels, and a stiffer suspension setting.
It went round the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6:56.4, making it the third production Porsche to crush the seven-minute barrier.
Sure, it maybe short on power compared to the ultimate 911, the GT2 RS, but the GT3 RS is all making drivers feeling the click between them and the car because as a car made by purists for purists, sort of, the GT3 RS ticks all the right boxes what a sports car should. I know, it's not a good-looking car, consider the crazy looking design that makes it more annoying when parked at the opera house, but as a proper, no holds barred sportscar, when you get behind the wheel, all you have to do is drive without explanations, like doing jokes without explanations to the audience, unless there's someone going to meddle your affairs.
Having enjoyed the aspects of the GT3 RS, I decided to find out if the latest minor change of the GT3 RS is better than the previous model, I went to the Top Gear Track and find out on my own terms. Let's roll the tape.
And now the results...
991.2 GT3 RS - 1:17.976
991 GT3 RS - 1:18.056
So, what do we have here? Although the new model is more powerful and more aerodynamic than the previous model, it lapped almost a second quicker, meaning that it's too close to call. I know that it lapped better at the Nurburgring compared to the old model, but at times like these, I think that's good enough to see how much this car has improved. Just imagine what if The Stig managed to lap this new version, I bet it would be as close as it gets.
The GT3 RS is all about checks and balances that makes this sports car great at all sides of the world. Sure, the GT2 RS is all about being the supreme being in the sports car realm but the GT3 RS is more of a satisfying feast that works like it was meant to be. It really is the gold standard for lightweight sportscars that is free from the extra baggage of its life to deliver the ideal freedom drivers want and I want more reasons to drive this car, even if it means of breaking the "no explanation" rule, I dare say.
Go ahead, drive the new 911 GT3 RS on Forza Motorsport 7 right now. You are more than welcomed to try it for a change.
