Best one to have, IMO.

Transfer as many mods as you can over to the stripper and don't look back. For your purposes, RS all day.

I could not resist it... Will pick it up Saturday. Will see if they give me good trade on GT3. If not, will temporarily keep both and see what to do. Unfortunately one of them will have to go. Pretty sure it will be the GT3. In the end doubt selling private will be much better than trade. So will likely just trade it in and see if they can at least swap the mods around for me. Should be able to move most nosebleed mods.

Anybody knows if the side muffler from RS would fit on GT3 for a swap with the side delete? I still have the old ones from GT3 but would be easier to just swap between them as the mufflers are in another shop and I would have to go pick them up...

Anybody wants some OEM gold wheels?

I recently completed the Porsche Experience GT3RS DE and it was an unbelieveable amount of fun. The capability of that car is intoxicating.

Based on that experience and you being able to spec it your way, results in a real deal maker if you're asking me!
Jump to the 3RS!

The sales tax advantage if you have significant equity or no debt will cover most of the delta you would get from a retail buyer and no hassle.

I live on the beach and have a Lizard , congrats and hope to see u around.

What color?

Cheers

Thanks a lot guys. No matter how much I love my car and rowing gears, at the end of the say the RS is still a greater package for the track.

FWIW, maybe not much coming from me, you made the right decision.

So, I changed my mind. Went yesterday to dealer. As expected the trade in on the GT3 was not great. It is amazing how RL is spot on. So I asked for one more night to think about keeping both as a way to not miss this deal at MSRP. In the end I would have to get rid of the GT3. I am just not ready to let go yet. I love my manual. The car is exactly how I envisioned and know I will miss it (and the challenging dread of a missed shift...). So I let this beautiful RS slip through my fingers.

So I am ok, well, sort of. Now I want the RS more than ever. Having the sticker with "sold" with my name on obviously did not help. The car was mine! I will put my GT3 for sale with a sky high prohibitive value that nobody will want. If somebody is crazy enough to buy it, I will be crazy enough to sell it. Otherwise I will continue driving the crap out of this one and eventually swap out to an RS or, even better, be able to keep both.

Appreciate RL support on the switch. But reason prevailed (not sure for how long).
