Talking Finally, after much deliberation, a 3RS replaces a 3RS

After much deliberation I replaced by .1 RS with a .2 RS ....
My 2RS even tough a champ was sorta getting old on me and the CPO warranty was running out ...
The closest competitors were the Performante and the 2RS but the price difference was close to $100K or more in certain instances, over the 3RS, which was strong enough to sway my decision to stick with the .2 RS
The difference in performance was not enough for me to fork out an additional $100K
I justified it by saying to myself, "you know, you can get a 718 spyder for that difference and have another toy to play with" lol!
Additionally most 2RS and Performate on sale were already out or getting out of warranty soon ...which played a major role in my decision.
One other thing that I could not justify was the fact that Lamborghini Dealers were much more obnoxious than Porsche dealers Enjoy some pictures!

Nice! Both look great.

Can you feel a substantial difference between the cars on the road?

I feel some subtle differences ..not something I can put my finger on ...overall the engine and the car feels more agile, not sure if that is the right word and I do not miss my bucket seats!

this one is a one owner car, not a PEC car, the wait was too long for the PEC car to be certified etc. and there was a lot of uncertainty

congrats - did the same recently and look forward to the comparison myself.
Also - I like the clean look w/o the side decals.
