GT3 vs GT3 RS
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?

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).

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.
