Official (?) RS Price???
The November issue of Panorama has a great article outlining the differences between the four flavors of 997 GT3 (plain, RS, Cup, RSR). Surprisingly, the Cup car is down some 15 hp to its lesser brethern, altho it is c. 500# lighter and has a torque peak that's some 1 grand higher.
This article lists the price of the USA-spec RS as $123,200, some 17,200 more than the 'plain' GT3. That money buys you a carbon fiber front lid and spoiler, a bigger spoiler, a 1.5" track rear increase with revised rear suspension bits, no sunroof, 44# less roadhugging weight and zoomy paint schemes. Performance differences in the article between the RS and 'plain' GT3 are very modest (1 sec quicker standing KM).
Me, I'm happy I ordered the 'plain' GT3, which will go to the shipper 11/30.
Cheers.

yes, lots of ppl are debating the $ vs what you get.
unfortunately i dont have a spot for GT3, so RS will have to do.
