Herman, looks like you stopped taking your medication and have relapsed. 
Congrats. Did you get it at the Lambo Chicago/FVM?
I'll be sending you a PM shortly, I'm trying to decide whether to join the ACC. If you're storing the car at the track maybe you can leave the keys....

In truth, I just think the RS is the prettiest Porsche I've seen in memory, sort of the quintessential P-car.

Either way the best advantage any car has (or disadvantage) is its driver.
Now, how do I join HWFMR?

So here is the dilemma - you will want to keep both but which one do you run when the track weekend beckons? For me, it will be the Elise or the 997 GT3. After this summer we will see if both stay...

The 255 is the one that will get the most miles I am sure. I am hoping that my dysfunctional lymbic system will accept the RS as the ultimate street sports car with extraordinary track abilities and leave the track-only Cup for 90% of track days.
The Cup should provide all the thrills I need, cheaper consumbles and be a very nice way to learn about going around quickly.
I am probably preaching to the choir, but having just done the 360/430 thing I really think Porsche makes the Ultimate street machine and I expect the RS to be its best yet.
