If you don’t track, it all comes down to if you prefer the look of the RS over the gt3. I would go as far as if you don’t track on a somewhat advanced level you will never get the full advantage of the RS.
I personally love the changes they made on the gen2RS. So if you like the appearance of it I would say go for it.

My dealership has just received an extra allocation for an early GT3RS available for the first US build cycle. I can order the car however I want except no PTS or Weissach package. In return they want my .2GT3 for $13K below MSRP and I can have the GT3RS at MSRP. I would lose about $24K on the GT3 including $13K plus $11K in tax.The car I spec'ed is $217K plus about $14K in tax. In my math I'm out about $38K (24K plus 14K tax) to get a .2GT3RS. I can only have the GT3RS if I sell back my GT3 at their price. I have agonized over this deal for a week. I have until June 15 to make a decision. Half the time I'm against it because I'm not really a track guy and I'm already down $38K but another side says do it because the car is so hard to get. Thoughts or opinions? My GT3 has an MSRP of $168 and has 800 miles on it.

I think the deal they are offering you is fair
your car trade in is probably msrp , so effectively you are paying 13 k ADM which is very good at this time ,
as far as tax situation, no one can advise you on that
having owned .1 GT3 and .1 3RS , I skipped the .2 GT3 and went directly to a .2 3RS and I don't track

Actually am in the same boat ...
RS at sticker but not planning to get WP and I don’t track my cars.
My gt3 sticker was 180k and I paid little over 200k including taxes and accessories. Car has 330 miles in 6 months and dealer is offering only 165k but I do have an option to sell privately

I am now really leaning toward going ahead and just doing it. I guess looking at it as only a $13K ADM and forgetting the taxes, then it does seem to be at least a fair deal in Michigan. In following the market on RL it appears that the premiums for the .2 GT3's and GT3RS's aren't going to be as high as on the .1's. so its a bit of a gamble on just how much or little I will make or lose on my next Porsche purchase. I'm trying to work my way towards a GT2RS allocation at MSRP. There is an outside chance that this could happen as there is a customer on the fence with his order. I know that I said I wasn't a track guy but I guess I'll have to give it a fair shot. I did enjoy the Atlanta experience for a day when I took delivery of my 2017 TTS. I guess the next decision is red or GT silver.
