What do we all think the most noticeable differences between the two for street driving - non track. It has been over a year since I had my GT3 and just this past weekend took delivery of my RS. The two seem pretty similar but then again it has been some time since I have driven a GT3 and not fresh in my mind. Side note, what is exhaust system difference? Titanium in RS?

Low end torque biggest DD difference. That and the huge *** wing!!

Cost per mile.

Front turn-in feel/grip was the thing I noticed the most. Then low/mid torque and better rear visibility. Not a huge difference.

if you are not heavily tracking, the RS's performance advantages are wasted. In my opinion of course. ; )

What made you change in the first place?

Outside of a bump in low-end torque and overall aesthetics: I think RS drives a bit more raw on street; just a hair more involving, more road noise, more engine noise, feel/hear the kick more on violent shifts. I assume this is purely due to less sound dampening/insulation?

Then there's the magic fairy dust from the RS letters that Porsche somehow causes to emit that makes us all completely irrational in our bias towards all-things-RS (me included).

Lighter wallet means less weight.

Less weight means better handling and acceleration.

I noticed the bit harder pull on the range. Exhaust notes seems a bit louder as well (inside and outside.) What is different with the exhaust systems?

LOL. Love this!!!

Only diff is the center muffler on RS is made from titanium.

This I like.

Think both are the same I have both in my garage from the GT3 and RS.

Depends if the RS engine is as fragile

One is bitchin' and the other is a real bitch! RS meant for 100% track car......GT3 more versatile for both street and track......

Do you guys get the plastic rear and rear-side windows in the US yet? I tried mine back-to-back with a friends 991 GT3, the RS is much louder inside, plus the gearbox makes more rattling sounds. Shorter gear changes and shorter paddle clicks...but the main difference has to be the low end response & torque. Also, I prefer the way the RS sounds up top from 7-8.8k. The 991 from 8-9k sounds, to me, like it's straining hard and has trouble hitting the limiter, whereas the RS feels like it's pulling harder and easily revs to the limiter. Could be in my head, but I always get the same feeling from the regular GT3.
