GR much better IMHO. One of the reasons I'm fine sticking with my GT3 is there is no GR option for the RS.

GR is classic. Growing less and less interested in lava.

I'll take any color RS over a GR GT3 any day. Even bright pink with glitter or diarrhea brown. I love GR, but I buy the car for the drive, not color.

+1 - Hell, I would pay a significant premium for a factory pink pig option...

True, but I don't have as many cars as you so my GT3 needs to fill more roles than just a track car.

The biga$$ wing on the RS is too much for me aesthetically, anywhere but on a racetrack, where it looks perfect.

I use my GT3 for a lot of things besides my track days.

Besides, the point isn't whether a pink RS is more desirable than a GR 3. AFAIC, the point is that while sometimes GR shows more orange and sometimes more red it's never wishy-washy. Admittedly, I haven't seen LO in the flesh but some of the pics show a pinkish salmon shade that is not only a weak color for an RS but an unpleasant color altogether. There are better options available, IMHO of course.

Default LO vs GR

I just saw them both in person and they are not close at all. LO should be called Salmon, really what it looks like. Loads of pink, kind of milky. Would never order it and I consider myself to be a huge fan of orange (nothing better than an orange .7 RS).

RL really needs to go back to resizing photos.

In my own experience, photos do not do Lava Orange justice. It has a shade which really changes color from a dull salmon to a radiant orange depending on lighting (and everything in between).

Not my cup of tea, but in the proper light it can look great. I'm sticking with Ultraviolet...

Even if I had one car, it would be an RS.
Actually, it would be a bus to haul my kids.
