I know it is off topic, but I am riffing off of Perimeter's comment. Just seems odd to me. Okay, back to work.

More hardware, faster stats, and the price difference isn't that much anyway. If you consider the Carrera options that are standard for the turbo and GT3, the cost spread will narrow further. The reduced turbo/turbo S production has helped the depreciation gap quite a bit but that's still better on the GT3/RS.
