Default SOS I NEED YOUR EXPERTISE!

Currently have a Macan Turbo and 991.2 turbo along with some daily cars.


The question is, would you rather have the 991.2 turbo or gt3 rs?


Both are completely different animals in their own way.


Just want something different and fun for a weekend car.


What is everyone's opinion?!
I'm especially curious to hear from gt3/gt3 rs owners.



I'm strapped for time, this decision should have been made yesterday!!

Thanks everyone!

No, don't need back seats. If I go with the gt3 rs will probably throw a cage back there.


anyone care to share their likes/dislikes ?!


Thanks

They are both PDK only so it is a closer discussion than GT3 v. 991TT which has been asked a bunch, but those threads have a lot of good points.

Would have said the TT until you mentioned adding the cage. Given that's your proclivity, get the RS. Hands down, no doubt.

What type of driving? On the track and on nice driving roads the RS is an absolute blast. On congested local roads its rather uneventful.

RS without question. While the TTS is an amazing car, it's more grand tourer/jack of all trades than an RS. The RS is crazy special every time you drive it. Revving that engine to redline is really a treat and makes me giggle still 1.5 years into ownership. GT cars are just a different experience which does not mean the TTS isn't special too. Both fantastic but for me, I'll take anything GT first.

You'll get biased answers here, but RS 100%.

No question. The RS would be the best choice, assuming you already ruled out the GT3.

Thanks everyone! I've been reading other threads non-stop all day (my employer probably hates me hah) but this is a really important decision for me. It's purpose for me is to be a fun weekend car/track car. I do live in a busy city so I guess driving on the roads won't be as fun but who care when you're rolling in someone as special as the gt3 rs.


For anyone who has or had a turbo, anybody miss the massive amount of torque?? I'm asking because I'm very sensory oriented and love the feeling of getting thrown into my seat, as if I'm going to get whiplash lol.


I think I'm close to the decision...stay tuned!!


Thanks again for all those who replied, greatly appreciated

Not sure if trolling but it's obvious... GT3 or RS all day!
