Default what will you buy if you cant get a GT3RS

Im getting annoyed/discouraged, I was planing on keeping my GT3 and adding the GT3RS, one for DD the other for weekends, now Im thinking maybe I need to come up with a plan B, what else could I buy/should I buy instead

A) SLS-coupe, seriously why would anyone buy this and not get the gullwing-one drawback is I think they all come with keyless entry-I hate keyless entry
B) MP4-12 coupe (I hate convertibles) I thought I heard the new nose can be retrofitted
C) Pro touring resto mod muscle car-somehting with modern running gear
D) my own 911 Singer like but less money 964 with RS America looks, shaved rain gutters no sunroof, tiny mirrors, lightened interior, carbon buckets, fuchs look wheels, big red brakes
E) type 64 replica, with 356 motor-so I can pretend to be Dr. Porsche driving down the Autobahn at night flying from Stuttgart to Berlin-
any other ideas?

wait for the 991.2 RS, or buy another 997 RS.

Scud or superleggera. I've driven SLS in track before and it is quite good, but not a substitute for a P GT car at all imo - soft. Probably a great DD. Haven't tried the new AMG GT yet, but heard one close by last week and it sounded great.
GT4?

How about going totally different with an Ariel Atom or a Radical SR8!

Would love the Atom or Mono. Unfortunately their not available in the US. Since I won't trading my GT3 except for an RS and have a limited budget I would add an Alfa 4C

The new Mazda Miata. Seriously! Cheap,about the same weight as the original and more power. All in all,you'll be out of 30K and change.

A) SLS-coupe: very good car. i love it. but it's not the same type of car as RS. it's an add no substitute

B) MP4-12 coupe: meh, get scud

C) Pro touring resto mod muscle car-somehting: unless you have patience

D) my own 911 Singer: good choice, but pls do not shave rain gutter. that's part of the character, shaved gutter is like marrying a redheard then dye her hair blonde or black..... you missed the point.

E) type 64 replica: no interest.

you should really try a scud. similar to RS, well, most similar of all above

some ppl suggested 991.2RS. if you cannot get your hands on 991.1RS, chances are you will not be able to get ur hands on 992.2RS either. being on a LIST is.... well..... i am on the list to take giselle to dinner...
