Only getting rid of the RS for an RS.
I paid 35 over for my car and I haven't spent any time thinking or worrying about what that means for me besides I own the best car I ever have and love driving it.

My entire day is spent doing cost/benefit analysis and making sure I'm getting the best value for every dollar my business spends. I do this at an obsessive level so I can have one or two hobbies in my life where I can throw all that analysis out the window.

Who can put a number on the enjoyment this car brings them? If I end up losing $50k to drive this car for 2 years then so be it. I'll do it again with the next one if I have to.

People wait and wait and wait for the right deal and the right time and everything else. I bought this car in September 2016 and couldn't imagine the last 7-8 months of my life without it, even to save all of what I paid over. I didn't get to where I am by waiting and waiting and waiting... life will pass you by.

Very well said. In Canada, the ADM thing does not happen. But if it did, I'd own a GT car, and I wouldn't lose sleep over what I paid.

Voo Doo blue RS - cancelled the the GT3.2 thinking about a 675LT Spider and letting the RS go.

It's a great car but I prefer to go roof less.

I wouldn't consider selling my RS for a 991.2 GT3 unless I could maybe pocket $100K on the exchange. I am considering a performante though.

If they did the ADM thing in Canada I would walk on Principle. I never have nor will I ever pay over, for a car.. I would rather use that $ to just buy another house and grow my equity.. I've got other hobbies anyway,

I'm done with 991. Keeping the RS as my last 991. Focusing on the Ferrari and 992 RS

My plan is to keep the RS unless I'm lucky enough to get a .2 RS of either flavor. Probably will pick up a .2 GT3 to experience it.

Was offered a .2GT3. Declined. No way would swap RS for a GT3. Not even a consideration.

All RS's are special and the 991 RS is still a "daddy" two years on after launch even going toe to toe with one of the most impressive and recent track beasts. The AMG GTR. Ask Chris Harris. 👍

Did they offer it to you in exchange to you trading in your RS?

Wouldn't think of trading for a GT3.2. My RS is best car I have owned to date. Maybe a .2 will convince me otherwise but no way for a .2 GT3. The RS has the RS presence about it! Just a beautiful car! The whole Manual vs PDK thing means nothing to me also. I am a Huge manual supporter and all my cars are manual but would never have this car in a manual! The car was built for a PDK and all the POLLS that are taken are of people that have likely never driven the car. The RS is the car everyone wants!
