Then I'll wipe my tears off on the alcantara dash in my new 675LT. LOL
RS is an awesome car. Funny, I'm looking at 675 but waited for convert. 650s are colossal deals.
Drive crap outta both. Use in health.
To the rest:buy, borrow, steal, but get your butt into RS.

USA guys who are buying at $70k over MSRP and are complaining, spare a thought for us people who get nailed an additional 60% + in "socialist" taxes!!!.

8.25% tax is a bargain compared to 60%.

Yikes 60%. I guess 13% isn't bad either.

Right now, if you're a track junkie, the GT3 is a faster car vs the RS on track and a much better value than the RS.... That's mainly because of the tire options.
A Hoosier shod GT3 with the same mods as an RS (but without the Hoosiers since they don't make an applicable size for the RS 20/21" wheel) is faster.....so if you are looking to track your car, get the GT3! :-)

Now one of our RS clients didn't like the fact that our GT3 was faster, so we are putting on different brakes and 19" wheels on the car so we can put the big boy R7's on the car, so he can reclaim the top lap time of any Porsche street car....GT3/RS/GT2RS....this is all at Thermal on the long track....


BTW, I love my 991 GT3, will keep it forever....and drive the hell out of it!

Considering they are asking 50k over msrp for the GT3, 70k dosesnt sound as bad as 150k over msrp most dealers are asking for. Still consider them scumbags for doing that. Guess its the free market.
