I don't think they pair well at all with the GT cars for the track. The GT cars are heavy, with the engine in the back causing violent weight shifts and numb steering.
But yes they look good together in a picture

Personally I find the 720S pairs very nicely with the RS - with 720S largely for road use and general giggles and the RS largely for track .
Also - I can assure you the .2RS and .3RS change direction better than the 600lt and 675lt

I am not a race car driver but a humble hobbyist but I've yet to meet a 2RS owner that tells me his car is easy to drive at the limit - and in my track friend group there are 3 of them.
The 2RS had definitely made me a better driver - as I've paid dearly for getting on gas too early in a turn or not modulating properly the transition from brake to gas and vice versa on my local track that is one of fastest in North America.
My GT3 with 500hp, similar to what I think your 3RS has on tap, was not powerful enough to upset the GT3 platform with my back then clumsy inputs. I felt like a superstar in that car - it masked plenty of bad habits.
As for the 720s, it's a pass for me. I don't get the point. It's not track oriented and will send you to jail if pushed on the street - oh, and I don't drag race. But happy it's giving you giggles.

And...guess where I was yesterday?
Was on the edge of pulling the trigger on a $300k msrp 650S Spider. Drove 570S also. Really liked both cars. $162k for the 650S. Gobs of power, really no objectionable turbo lag, great trans (not PDK great but very quick shifts). Nice build quality.
Really really liked both. Did not find the 650S “boring” at all.
Whats stopping me? Cost of ownership when added up to continued depreciation is ridiculous to me and I wanted it. Still do but..
$2000 a year service and $5000 A YEAR warranty. In 5 years of ownership I’m at $35,000 just to own it. Then we have to discuss depreciation.
I’m out. If the added expense doesn’t bother you, go for it. Awesome car.
