2018 GT3... considering options
#16
Trade the manual GT3 now, while the values are still up. See what deal you can get for an RS allocation, must be a guaranteed allocation, with that GT3 as a trade in. You can also go ahead and trade it in for a place holder Porsche, so long as the dealer still gives you a guaranteed buy back price for the place holder together with a guaranteed RS allocation and price.Shop around, wheel and deal. You may be unhappy with the manual GT3, but it's not like you have a bad car to deal with. There are manual tranny fanatics out there. The one thing you SHOULD NOT do is trade the GT3 in for a place holder and leave everything else to chance.
The only thing I can think of that would upset the above scenario is if you think you would be happier with a TurboS even over the RS. I know a lot of guys who prefer the Turbo S over the GT cars. Low end grunt, better for touring, back seats...…...Then no brainer: go for it NOW!

I’m not unhappy with the manual, but launch controls in the pdk are ridiculous.
I havent done a LC with mine just cause the engine is so new. Good news is the breaks don’t squeek as much anymore.
Im leaning for the RS since it’s more rare and raw power. Hope to get a configurable allocation.

Could you say a bit more about how you expect to get more from the engine with PDK. There are very few instances where PDK will do this and a few where you will actually get more performance from the Manual (less internal friction, so in-gear acceleration is actually slightly stronger with Manual). On a road course, there is almost no difference (0.2 sec per lap when Randy Pobst lapped Big Willow with both and the PDK car had better performance options). On a drag strip, advantage to the PDK for better launches and less wear on the clutch...
BTW, when are we going to get the cars out?! It is supposed to be sunny and 53 tomorrow. Roads are probably total crap though.

I noticed the "sofas" in you gt3.
You mentioned a Turbo S
Why do you really want the RS ?
Will you be putting sofas in the RS ?
You said the plan is to keep long term. Depreciation is only an issue when you sell.
Based on the above the RS seems to be a terrible fit. Go the turbo S route along with sofas as LWBS are not an option.Turbo S seems like the best fit for you. Personally I would hate to pay an ADM and have buyers remorse.
