Assuming no 991.2 GT3RS, do you buy a 991.1 GT3RS or the 991.2 GT3?

If you already own a 991 GT3 RS, tell me so I can account for the endowment bias.

Wrong assumption. There will be a .2RS.

GT2RS -- I owned both and even with the improvements to the GT3, there is still no comparison if you are going to track it.

991.2 GT3RS will be the RS buyer car. 991.2 GT3 will be better than the 991.1RS

Easy decision - MT GT3.

As we sit here today (and I reserve the right to change my mind at any point), I think I'm going to pass on the .2 GT3 and see what's what with the 992 GT3. Perfectly happy right now with my RS.

There will be a .2 GT3 RS, also a Gt2 and a Gt2 RS. Perhaps even some special limited editions of these.

The latest Gt3 seems to be at least as good as the .1 RS. The .2 Gt3 RS will be a step ahead again.

If you want to go super fast on track and compete with the 700 hp+ competition out there the Gt2 would be the best bet.

Not so sure about .2 GT3 RS unless last LE. They may not have enough time for so many new models before the 992 areivws

Because of the entirely new engine, and manual option I think this is the first time ever I'd take a .2GT3 over a .1GT3 RS. Just more value there for me as a driver.

Some folks here paid a fortune for a 4.0 MT so I'll buy a MT .2 GT3 regardless of what happens with the RS line. Just in-case this is the last NA MT 4.0
