not necessarily the case unless you planned on spending 50k more on the RS but are going to sell it for the same as a used regular 991 GT3 down the road. I would assume it will be worth more, therefore youre not throwing 50k away, you're merely moving into a Porsche account for the time being and loosing a small percentage due to use. Used 997 RS's are 50+k more than 997 GT3 in the used market, why would this car be any different.
and its hard to say the small increments in performance gains arent worth it unless you are truly looking for the cheapest way possible on the planet to improve lap times.
just sayin

The 997 GT3 RS 4.0 becomes even more special now as it should be. The new RS is definitely a cool car. They should have priced it closer to the price of the 991 turbo and not the turbo S.

Does it say anywhere how/if they changed the gearing from the GT3? I assume that they did, but if not the gearing is effectively taller now with a larger rear tire diameter.
Tire grew in sidewall and added an inch for bigger wheel diameter too (305/30/20 vs 325/30/21).
I assume the R&P is changed if not the gear stack.

100% very true and important factors to many. but no way a used 991 RS will sell for the same as a used 991 GT3. none of us can say for sure the difference at this point, the market will eventually but youre not loosing the 50k. youre not setting it on fire going to an RS, in my opinion.

i have an allocation and my dealer confirmed im good to go today, i even sent him a build code which he asked for. i double checked if i decide to opt out if i can. He said specifically that they have 8 five thousand dollar deposits after me and every single one of them would throw me a pity party if i decide to pass.
i am deciding now but my decision is based on other things than everyone else. i do not care how much it costs over the 991 GT3 and i do not care how much more performance you get for that money. Hell i cant drive either to its potential lets be honest.
for me the factors are:
1:how much i can get for my 991 GT3
2:when the car will be available for me to take delivery
Not going to bend over on my 991 GT3 for anyone, and not for the RS either. so if i can get a number that makes me happy then ill go for it, i already know my RS would be at msrp so im looking for my delta.
Not going for it if im going to take delivery in october which is very possible. Dont feel like staring at another new car all winter again.
90% yes as of now though
