Default Poll: .1RS or .2GT3

So with all this talk about .2GT3 coming out and how some people are already experts on how the .2GT3 will be better then even the .1RS I wanted to create a poll.

Prices of .1RS are coming back down to earth, and I believe that will be for a limited time since there are only so many to go around, and with dealer markups of 30+ the price of a .2GT3 will be pretty close to the price of a .1RS.

Poll question is if prices were exactly the same for a .2GT3 as a .1RS which would you buy?

For me it would be the .2 GT3 but strictly because I think it is the better looking of the two. Plus - the RS has no Manual. But - I have much respect for the RS and when I see one on the road I get excited because I am a fan.

.2GT3RS will be much more expensive then .1RS or .2GT3, and even harder to get.

Trying to compare same price points.

I prefer PDK and an RS is an RS :-)

I've been wanting a new GT3 with MT so .2. There is nothing like custom ordering a car to your specifications.

.2 gt3, cuz of the manual, engine and less flash. RS is an amazing supercar. I would like to daily drive my car at times. It's hard with a supercar, too much attention.

PS: one day I see myself having an RS in the garage and track It occasionally. ...a 993 and a GT3 for daily drivers. That day is coming near, I just finished long schooling, so have time to go.

I owned a 991.1 GT3 and a 991.1 RS. Preferred the looks and lower stance of the GT3. Loved the 9,000 RPM. Loved the slightly better handling of the RS but didn't like losing straight line speed at COTA due to the increased downforce with resultant increased drag.
So, the 991.2 GT3 looks better than the RS to my eyes, will go faster in a straight line (Porsche says increased down force without decreasing drag, don't know how but assume correct, plus increased hp at speed due to ram effect), very decent handling when set properly and an engine that revs happily to 9,000RPM with (hopefully) fixed reliability issue, and the 991.2 GT3 is my preferred car. I am trying to get a later production car, PTS.

RS is an RS, but a Manual is a Manual :P
