Not sure what you mean by not available in the U.S.? You can buy either from U.S. importer Sector 111. www.sector111.com

Whether you can register it for road use or not will depend on the state in which you live.

Have a rs on the way but couldn't wait. Just picked up a speciale.
Aventador has a terrible Caitlin Jenner 😊 and so does the 650s. The Porsche pdk is the best of the 4.

I think we have to make it ourself, I don't want to put down the Singer its a beautiful car, butI think I could do a little cheaper, 964 donor car, strip out the rear seats, lightweight roll bar, shock tower braces, carbon seats, tune the motor, short shifter, headers and reprogrammed ECU I think I could build a killer track street retro car, kind of like an outlaw 356 but a 911 or maybe a Magnus Walker 911 modernized. In the scale modeling world there are "group builds" where a bunch of guys get together and build the same model kit, comparing notes and sharing knowledge, maybe we should do the same

I'm not sure singer is a good replacement for an rs. I was at the track when a very capable driver had the engine (cosworth) blow on him. For the prices they charge XD.

I think the real answer to the question is a 991 gt3.

price ridiculous on that one, theres a difference between being wealthy and dumb, andI dont particularly want a car thats built only in the hundreds, parts and reliability are all issues then. Its like medications, if they try them on a few hundred people you never see alll the side effects until thousands take it, then you can see how safe it really is

Well said - I feel similarly.

MP4-12C has a lot going for it. I've had my 2012 for 2.5 years and it is brilliant. I sure don't see the increased value of a GT3 RS over a 12C for me. I also prefer the original nose to the 650S harelip, but am in the minority. Only problem could be the huge dynamic range of the 12 C will make you want to drive it every day and not drive the GT3

The only difference RS will appreciate vs. 12C if that's a concern .....

I wouldn't be so sure. There is no guaranteed rate of return on the RS; for it to appreciate, demand will need to stay high in the form of a strong economy, and Porsche will need to resist the urge to maximize profits and keep supply low. I wouldn't bet on either.

On the other hand, the 12C has already taken its big depreciation hit. IMO it is a bargain right now (and I, too, prefer the original nose).
