i would say sell the 4s and keep the GT3
i have the same with GT3 and GT3rs and i really cant let my blue lady go away, i'm not sure if its me alone but its a really different animal than the RS and the engine with 9k RPM is just insane.

I sold my pristine '97 Arena Red 993TT ten years ago to pay for my wedding. It had 50k miles on it and I sold it for $54k.
I'm going to spend the rest of the night in my listening room trying to forget about this now

To the OP,
Here is what I did. I sold my 2015 Turbo S and 2016 Spyder Boxster when I got my GT3RS. I did the whole car in XPEL for $6000 (nose to tail) and a GMG exhaust. Now I drive it to the GYM or wherever I want to. Paddle shift with sport exhaust note and all... Have a G Wagon that I drive to work or long distance. When my new office building is finished in October, I will have covered garage for myself and then I can drive the GT3RS to work as well. I just don't want to keep it in the sun all day where my old office is. I have put 2200 miles in 3 months and properly broken it in. Finishing up on my PSDS performance plus course next week and once I get the regional SCCA license then I will take the GT3RS to the track as well. Looking to put a cage in it. Felt remorse selling the Boxster Spyder, not so much the Turbo S. So I look at the photographs once in a while and smile that I had a chance to drive those two beautiful cars before my dream car arrived. When I get in the RS and lower the windows and wait for the blue engine cold sign to disappear and then paddle shift the stuffing out of it at 8000 RPM you can't even see my ears cuz I'm smiling so hard my jaws ache and that heart pounding in my chest and the rush of blood to my head is simply 'INTOXICATING". The way this thing sticks to the asphalt on curves and turns is mind blowing and straight lining it creates such a deafening roar in the cockpit that you can't even hear yourself think.
So keep whatever you want for your daily driver if you do not have covered parking and drive the dickens out of the GT3RS after properly braking it. You can only have true love for one woman (in my case), and in case of cars for one car at a time. I just hate to see something as good as an RS sitting in the garage gathering dust and cobwebs!

Sell C4S, GT3 and SUV. Buy AMG E63 S Wagon, keep RS. Could also go with a used FF.
I've been reducing my number of cars as I just don't have time to put enough miles on them so this follows a similar path...

Good stuff
I'm down to 6.
-Something classic for cruising.
-Tow vehicle - trailer
-Racecar
-RS
-Luxo, roomy, torqey barge not too flashy
-Sporty cheaper occasionally track capable.
The last two might fit into one car.
