Long shot: trade Riviera blue RS for 911R?

I actually think it is a fair trade but I would not give up that PTS RS. The next GT3 will have a Manual option so for me the 991R does not do anything. I am not denying it is not a nice car and will drive great but the 991RS has such a presence that the 991R lacks.

I have driven the 911R. It is possibly the most amazing 911 street car ever. It is light, spry, ridiculously fast and engaging at 30 mph. Think '74 3.0 RS and 991 RS had a child with a 997 4.0 gearbox. It is brilliant and pure. After 50 Porsches' including many RSs' and a 959 I find it not only to be one of the great 911s' ever but one of the great sports cars. They tell me that the 991RS will yield a slightly faster lap time but if you are a MT/NA driver there is possibly nothing better short of a McLaren F1. It is everything a Porsche should be.

Here in Illinois, car brokers are insanely persistent to the point of "pushy" to offer $500K over MSRP for a F12tdf. 911R is also rare pulsing dealers on the secondary market shows nothing. So it would be interesting what prices these 911R would rack up to.
Nevertheless, the 911R is truly a driver's car. To those who have the privilege to own a GT3RS and a 911R, congratulations as having these two would be your Batman and Robin dynamic car duo.
Drive safe,

I don't know very much about the rumored 991.2 GT3 with a manual gearbox. But I do know that Porsche has heard loud and clear that a very important segment of their customer base wants a more "analog" feel MT/NA car that is actually available for most of us to buy. I'm confident that we will see the DNA of the 911R in future cars with more generous allocation.
