Default RS or RS: the £69,900 question

Tough choice really...
The 964 RS is one of the best examples of the car we love so much. Mechanical, small pure and direct. The original track day car!
The 997 RS moves the game on to incredible new heights. The raw mechanical feeling is still there. Long live the Metzger engine!

My dream garage would include both!

Take the 964 RS and spend one quarter of the other car in coaching and track time.

Drive past the 997GT3s for fun on the track!!!

I like the way you think. Kai may be right about driving coaches, but there are different thrills for different times in your life....sometimes even on the same day

How many of each were made? Ps - 991 gt3 teaser out soon, which may impact 997 prices a little

I think I'd split the difference and buy a 996 GT3RS and save 10k

What is the front spoiler on the Rubystone Red RS?

Very nice collection! I personally would go with the 964 RS for the raw(er) feel!

As much as I've thought about 997GT3s, and RS thereof, I'd have to go with Freeman on this one.....just not that many with white and blue, my preferred combo.
