drove the AWD, not going to hate on it but love the RWD much more... has the attitude and feel of a 997 GT3 or 997.1 GT2...

anyone who is porsche person, loves the speciale and 488 but dislikes the rest of the F car lineup i feel would love a RWD huracan...

But I have to ask....why in the hell did you buy an RS with no intention of tracking it....?!?!

No offense, but I'm blown away at how many people buy the GT3/RS but don't ever track them!! IMO it's a complete waste and takes an allocation from someone (me) who wants to use it on track as well as street (50/50 as its not a Cup Car). There is a reason P makes and sells over 20 versions of the 911.....there is a version for every use case!

And now to quote AC SATCO - I'll see myself out now....
I don't think one necessarily needs to track an RS (or GT3 or GT4) to experience a lot of what makes them special vs a standard 911/Cayman. Mine will never be tracked because I have a dedicated track car (Radical) for that. The RS makes for a fun way to get to the track though.

^ This. Love my RS and never plan to track it. Its too expensive a car to risk. Love driving it on the street and spirited driving. Clearly Mother ship intended the RS to be enjoyed on the street as well.

Have dedicated track Boss 302 Trans Am TA3 to chase down GT3s. Plus has all the proper protecton.

Wow!!! - Nice Mustang. Not a huge fan of them but that is one mean looking angry machine. I bet that V8 sounds like a beast

Jimmy. It scoots. 3100lbs. 526 hp. Gobs of torque. More car than I can handle. It is loud bordering on obnoxious. Headers and pipes straight through . Not a favorite of my neighbor across the street.

Lambos don't move me. Nice but would buy a Mac instead. Different strokes. Would never trade my RS for one.

Im not sure why you didn't just but a 7.2RS again as that seems the car that turned you on the most. But I suspect the outcome may have been the same :-). We all buy cars for different reasons. Each to their own and good luck with the lambo - its looks awesome...

justification... i just cant justify the price given what i "could" have paid.. which makes no sense as markets change... but i'm very OCD and would never stop thinking about it... it's the same with watches... if someone was 30 and now 50... i cant justify it, even if it's well worth it... cause everytime i look down i'll think "i could have,......"

I have decided after much experimentation that only Porsche's and Ferrari's do it for me.
If you are really ADD though you run out of things to buy with only two brands.
