Currently 66 GT3 RS and 55 GTS for sale on Car Gurus US nationwide.
The fastest and lightest best optioned car in the 991.1 cycle is a GTS rwd. It can never be speced that way with any S version 911. It's a unicorn and will one day respect big figures. A seven speed is even rarer. GT cars are unreliable and once turbos are unleashed the GT brand will disappear altogether. Same thing happened to the M brand of bmw. All M cars are factory built theses days and the M department is history.

Just additional FYI. CarGurus lists 83 GT3 for sale nationwide US and approximately 1000 911/S.
To be honest, I would bet ANY 7mt 991 will be more desirable in the future - if you are looking at pure numbers available for sale, produced, etc.
As to fancied up S models, sorry gts dudes but the 50th has your car beat by a mile - check values on those used.
Yeah the 50th Anniversary S is going to be a catch. But no doubt the 997.2 and 991.1 GTS MTs are going to be sought after. Just that little something special about them!!

That wide body 2 wheel drive set up is just killer stuff!!
Yeah the 50th Anniversary S is going to be a catch.
and Porsche built 1,963 of those ( world preview of the model 356's succesor 911 'concept' was in 1963 ...fast forward to model year 2013 = " 50 years later " ) vs just 60 of these :

The ultimate 991 GTS...LOVE the Club Coupe!

(Love the 50th, too, but the Club Coupe is very, very special!)

Yeah and all those RS's are asking $50-150k over list, while the GTS' are going for well under. The RS is in the midst of a slowly deflating speculator's bubble. The GTS is behaving just as expected, like a high option Carrera S.

I was not comparing dollar premiums . GT cars strongly hold values and have garnered somewhat instant collectibility status over the last several years.Not like the instant desirability and appreciation of the 911 R , 918s etc., but a similar albeit less dramatic dynamic. I beleive the 997.2 and 991.1 GTS will hold value and appreciate during future collectible cycles - 10 to 25 years out. 997.2 GTS's have somewaht already flattened out a bit relative to depreciation as year over year prices of 997.2s have stayed fairly steady. Obviously market trends will dictate . More importantly at this point owners are holding onto them because they are really really great 911s to drive and own. I have expererience with standard Carrera, S and GTS 911's and absolutely prefer my GTS over the other variants . Not saying the others are bad cars, but that the GTS just has a little something more special and involving. IMO , especially in 2 wheel drive 6mt format.
