If you are a track guy do you even consider the 911R?

If you are a backroad PDKS guy, do you even consider the 911R?

Personally I'd have the RS even if it was $200k and the 911R was $175k.

both

Good post. The GT3, R & RS are different and one is not hugely better than the others - really the list price determined the value difference.

peak for this cycle was last july. prices for R will decline with market but remain at premium to other same-gen GT cars due plate.

time to cut bait if you're a seller. market is coming to buyers.

pristine 4.0 RS sitting since last october at 500: https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...-rs-4-0-a.html

They are all finally coming down. R is nice but I would much rather buy a nice condition 997.2gt3 for that purpose. Save a bunch a cash and drive a smaller car for canyons.

He should have taken the 460k asking is rarely the moving point for anything.

The old saying "your first offer is usually your best offer" is true more often than not...

I'm with Ryan, but the 12 year old boy in me likes spoilers.

For sure, and I learned that selling a house a few months back in October. Had I held out the market dropped a month later ...........old saying take profit at the right time of the curve, and don't play the peak game as it could be painful.

Even among those who track, most of GT miles driven are on the STREET. I'd take an understated 911R with MT & no wing in a heartbeat. The RS is a special car but draws too much attention for my preference.

Tough one for me b/c I don't track, but still probably take the RS. There's just something I like about it vs the R.

Different strokes, drive what you like, life is short!
