When RS arrives. it will replace it

 

I might see what the market looks like in a month or 2 and sell it pre-RS arrival. I had thought of keeping both, but now have my eyes on the Mcclaren 650R as a garage mate for the RS.

Too many interesting cars coming now to keep both.

 

I admit, I'm car A.D.D. My sights are set on an RS, once I have that, I will find a good home for my GT3.

 

It's interesting, because the 'hardcore' track guys want the RS (and if the numbers are as limited as predicted, that will be interesting to see the jockeying to buy one :-), which I get no doubt. You are the guys that will drive your RS to the track on a truck. I think that's super cool.

But for probably the majority of GT3 owners, having a dual purpose car (Quasi DD and track) is more appealing. Well, rather I can just speak for myself. With as few GT3's that were/are going to be made, it will always be a sought after car, as the 'track' guys will pine for the RS.

 

I currently can't think of a reasonable replacement, that provides all the functionality of the GT3. I'd love to have a GT3 RS, but I wonder how it would function as an around town car with occasional track days? So at this point I expect to keep mine at least a couple years.

 

What would be different in the RS around town that makes it less functional than the GT3? It will have better rear visibility due to the increased wing height. The only negative I can think of is a the slightly wider body? Maybe slightly stiffer suspension, but I would hardly call the GT3 stiff.

Mine will see pretty much just street duty.

 

I bought the GT3 mainly for track use, and would prefer the RS instead if it didn't cost another $50K. For me, the GT3 is already seriously stretching how much I want to spend on a track car.

Another point to consider: if someone is willing to trailer the car, why not just get a real race car (eg, 996 or 997 cup, racing Cayman, etc.)? Less purchase cost, more safety, real track tires, etc.

 

Completely agree.

Evenly spread poll as of now ~25% in each category.

 

I will keep it as long as I can drive it and afford to keep it. No plans at this time to get rid of the car.

 

Seems to me, the guys who can get their hands on a RS for the track will probably delete their 3. Others who don't track much or even at all, will most likely keep them longer than normal or even keep them permanently, that's unless the next 3 trumps this one. Time will tell.

 

To me, without a doubt there is the "cool factor" of the RS but as far as to using it for dedicated track use, personally, I would rather just have a cup car, which would be superior on the track and cost less. While I do see RS's at the track on occasion, I can understand why the drivers for the most part want to drive them carefully, with their increasing value and of course low production numbers. Such a special car but not sure where is exactly fits.

 

I agree
