After much hand wringing, I sold my GT3 Touring and GT3.2 PDK today. So now on the truck and gone.

I took a lot of care in configuring the Touring to match my 964 RS as closely as possible but, in the end, I never quite bonded with the car. So when I made a decision to cut my cars from 10 down to to 6, it had to go.

GT3.2 went because I have hardly driven it since I got my RS, and I have another RS on the way in Feb.

Interesting that you prefer the 18 RS so much that you ordered another one in comparison with 6MT GT3T and PDK .2 GT3. Is it simply due to the fact that the RS is just that much more of a track car or is there a perspective from street driving you can share? Enviable position to be in for sure. Looking forward to seeing the new RS

The 2nd incoming RS will be based on another continent so I won't have the two RS in the same place. For me, the RS is just a much more exciting car than the Touring. And in the end, I think I am just a RS man so still have the 964RS, 996 RS, 997.2 RS and 991.2 RS.

Why did you order a 2nd RS (I’m assuming they are both 991.2 GT3RS)?

Loving the RS dedication and collection.

If there is one more car for me to add it will be a .1 or .2 RS. Maybe replace one of the Cabs. Probably the 997 unless I can swing keeping 4 which would then make a nice addition to a diverse group.
Atlas Grey 997.2 C2S Cab (manual)
Black 991.1 GTS Cab (PDK)
GT Silver 991.2 GT3 Touring

I am facing similar sort of dilemma right now. I have three 911's: 17 Turbo S and 18 GT3T, and my recent acquisition which came out of no where -- some one backed off and the AD, being a loyal Porsche fan, gave me the opportunity to purchase the 19 GT3RS.... I can only keep two sports cars (911's) and therefore struggled which one to let go. After driving back and forth the 3 cars, and that I have another DD, I have decided to let go of the Turbo S. I am so attached to the GT3T as its completely a different animal; it brings me joy in each and every driving condition. The GT3RS on the other hand is a toy which can only be enjoyed if it's fully exploited (it certainly would be a wonderful track car -- I don't track my cars). I would be driving hard on the streets where/when ever I can... Enjoy your cars and congratulation on your purchase.. May you enjoy it in good health.

Smart move on the turbo exit, you can always get one of those if you changed your mind.

Amazing what rationalizations we use to convince ourselves that we need another 911....I’m no different, it’s a curse? Addiction?

Of course I do not NEED a 911. I got along just fine in my 15 year-old (1985) Chrysler minivan with the broken window, the saggy ceiling and the broken AC during medical school (and I was in New Orleans of all places - not a good place to be without AC). But thanks to my hard work, I have the means to afford one or more 911s, so why not? One of the beauties of the 911 is that there are so many flavors. The GTS I own feels like a luxury sedan in comparison to the GT3T that I have coming in a few months. Totally different animals. The same could be said for a turbo S, GT3T and GT3 RS. Even though the latter two have almost identical engines, they are still quite different in terms of the body and of course one is MT and the other PDK. Totally different driving experiences. Lucky us for getting to choose between such great cars.

Thanks Az911GT's, will do. My light ivory beauty is sitting in the factory in Stuttgart at the moment, due for completion 1/18. She's going straight from the dealership to Moe down in OC. I should have her around March Madness!
