GT fever

Well I picked up my GT3 RS, and the differences over the GT3 are glaringly obvious the minute you start driving. I loved my GT3s, but I have to agree, the RS is the RS. I think the regular GT3 is "prettier" and an amazing car, but oh man is it easy to connect with the RS.

That was implied based on the results that day at that track based on my post. You can’t just quote whatever section to try to make a point. Those that know, know that it’s a short track. I don’t need to spoon feed it to you or anyone. Again, you’re not reading nor digesting all the wording, just what fits you to attempt to make a different point. Perhaps it hit a nerve...
The point of this thread is whether there is such a thing a GT Fever, to get the so called next best thing. The 991.2 RS is awesome. Not that the 991.2 GT3/Touring isn’t. Whether the cost difference is worth it is totally subjective. I can set it up to keep up or even pass a 991.2 RS at with PBIR, Homestead, or Sebring. That is the point. Hence, not necessarily worth the psychological urgency to upgrade. You know what opinions are like, but facts are facts.
Whenever someone in FL wants to meet, at any of those tracks, I’m down. No ego, just for fun, like my posts. No name calling anywhere in my post.
ps, I love the gt3 and if I couldn’t afford the gt3rs I would buy one. I prefer the gt3rs and I feel the extra money too me is worth it!

Yes, our little 150 HP SRF's turn similar lap times at many tracks to GT3's and RS's. It's a completely different experience though turning a 1:23 second lap at PIR with an SRF and a top speed of 119 mph and the same time in a GT3 with a top speed of 145 mph. I will say though that racing has completely dulled my desire to upgrade to the highest level of the GT ladder that I can afford. For me street cars are for the street (including my GT3)- I have a race car for the track. Now, do I lust for a Cup Car and the budget to race it- YES!

Haha, the fever is a real thing! My 2 cents: you have to just do it and break the fever, lol.
I don’t think this is about what’s a better car; this is about want and, yes, want. After you give in and experience the latest and greatest, and get this latest crap out of your system, you will realize that what is latest and greatest is no bliss. I call this “growing up” in car terms. I have gone through it myself. Do it, grow up, and buy what makes you smile; it may be the latest RS, or the gt3 touring or an old 964, etc.

Interestingly, for what is is worth, in his 991.2 GT3 video review, Catchpole said that if he had to have a 991.2 GT3 or GT3 RS, he would take the GT3. In fact, he said that if he could choose one car out of all cars, it would be the 991.2 GT3. Sometimes, the demonstrably better car is not the best car for someone's lifestyle or driving purpose.

If I could, I would do the same. My war chest will not allow it, so it's one or the other. I think about the RS on occasion, so who knows, maybe someday ;-)
