I wouldn't trade my Touring for a 3RS but only because the manual transmission was important to me. If the 3RS offered the manual it wouldn't require a second thought and I'd probably have one already.

I say Touring for your needs...also because the .2RS is much more rigid and ball jointed than .1 ... so not exactly what you’d want from a backroads carver.


So did you have recent new allocations for the RS in the US? When did you put down your deposit if I can ask?

This is why 997 RS 4.0 commands so much premium.

would you happen to know source for those cover plates? Thx

I was told it was the last RS allocation at champion. Placed order just before Labor Day.

the .2 RS is 9k rpm as well. As much as I like a manual, and I do, for me street driving it is a lot easier to acess the power band easily with pdk. I do understand the attraction to the manual though which is why I’m on the fence.

Unfortunately since Champion has no gt3 allocation left I’m pretty locked in to th RS. There are plenty GT3s for sale but not many touring.

I’d be interested in those as well.

I feel like it will be a better street car to enjoy. I will most likely not be tracking either car, I'd get something more of a beater for that. Would love to get peoples input who have spent a good amount of time in both.

Obviously the money is different and the GT3RS is maybe more rare? But this really isn't about the money, it's about the enjoyment factor of driving on the street and not looking like a douche.
lol. I hope for your sake you have an allocation. I thought I had one too.
