Debating the Value of the Porsche 991.1 GT3 RS
As for which car is better and/or worth more money, you could debate that until the cows come home. Which is exactly what Dr.Bill seems to have already done.
“There was a multi-page thread on this topic recently filled with blathering ad nauseam.
No real consensus as to which was preferred (what a shocker!).If I could trade my GT3 straight up for a GT3 RS, I might do it. If I had to add $$ to the deal, then no way.
On the other hand, if you had a 3RS, nobody in their right mind would trade it straight up for a GT3. Unless they really wanted an old-fashioned transmission really bad. So, deciding which is ‘better’ depends on which you have. Suggesting pretty evenly matched.I’d rather have the newer, improved engine. As a bonus, the car is faster too. Unfortunately, it’s also a more refined, less raw ride. And the turbo intakes and fender scars are a bit much. I’m also not a fan of the lard *** of the RS. Plus, if you need any repairs (like a new fender), the RS costs are absurd. Exotic materials = exotic prices! In any event, the resumption of more normal pricing is a good thing for all.”
The general consensus is just that. Crazy, inflated prices are good for flippers and anyone lucky enough to get allocation. But for the rest of us, depressed pricing creates a good sort of problem, as 786 notes.
“I think it’s more emotional, performance wise they are quite close. RS has that emotional appeal (for some) that the regular GT3 does not. They’re both very special cars, and some must have the top model in the range as well. Good to see prices deflating a bit, deciding between the two is a nice problem to have.”
As for us, we’re perfectly fine with a 991.1 GT3 RS at a discounted price, despite the lack of a manual option. But there’s more to the subject than we can possibly cover in this space. So be sure and head over here for the whole story, filled with fascinating opinions and insights!
