Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum and seek your advice. I've made an appointment with my dealer to place a deposit on my second GT3 (997.1 being my first) and first RS tomorrow. No dilemma with options or desired specs but I will be number 5 on the list for allocation, which seems deep. This dealer has received and sold multiple RS models each year released. Do I take the chance or swing a standard GT3 for a 2015 build. I will be tracking 2-3 times per year and using as a weekender. I also have a dedicated track e36 m3 being prep'd for this coming season. Thank you in advance -Tim

For 2-3 times a year tracking and since you have another track car, I would say a standard GT3 would do the job better -- unless the RS is 300lbs lighter and came with a manual. :)

It sounds like track time with the RS will be fairly minimal and you already have a dedicated track car. Also, being #5 on the list would make me a little nervous. If it were me I'd choose the GT3, as the incremental performance difference will be meaningless as a weekender.

That said, the question is whether you feel you NEED an RS for whatever reason and will be unhappy if you don't get one. Only you can answer that. If I were you I might consider seeing if I could get a higher slot at a different dealer. Good luck with your choice.

deposit on both, take your chances

If you get a GT3, you will want an RS. If you get an RS, you won't want a GT3. Ask me how I know.

What G car said. You might as well have a deposit on both and you can decide once the car is announced in a few months.

Yeap, once you taste RS there's no going back.

I have to imagine that the wide rear stance, 21" ear wheels, and big spoiler are going to look pretty epic.

...and the f.u. colorways. Is it wrong that this is the part I'm most excited about?

I appreciate your opinions and comments. I've decided to go RS. I may be late in the game but the feeling in my stomach is overwhelming. I am obsessed with this model.
