Default For the few RS owners or waiters who

first took delivery of GT3s, with the intention of selling it when the RS arrives. . .

I'm curious, did you/do you have pause, knowing that the RS will likely not provide a notably different driving experience?

Need fewer speculators and more drivers. If they are not careful, they are going to wind up with GT3's in their condos.

My 3 is on the way, but I have a solid shot at an RS (long story). I'll know for certain soon. The main draws to the RS are exclusivity and bigazz. I actually don't like the rear spoiler as much and while the decals look great on the internet, in real life it may be too much even for me ('hey looky me, i'm a really fast track car').

When you take exclusivity out of the equation, the choice of the RS over the 3 is not clear.

You can always peel the decals, and Orange and Green may not be to much more blinding than Yellow

I would've gotten an RS if it were available. My car only sees track duty and the LWFW and rear suspension is worth the price difference. I wouldn't buy the RS if I were counting on exclusivity or greatly improved performance on the street.

YUp, it's the LWFW that makes all the difference...

I live in Tampa, FL the land of condo speculation. I expect to see a package deal for in the near future which will include a new GT3.

I have not, but a karting friend and I are talking about getting into organized events. I raced full time in the late 90's to '02 - so life at the track is all about fun these days. I am a builder/developer in Tampa, FL and the RS is enough of a distraction. I can't wait to go to Sebring and bust out a few laps at a DE event.

Alex Job is a very good friend and I will ask him / his team to set up the car for Sebring.

Sorry, I am not sure about the Daytona area for karting - Bradenton is on the west coast just above Sarasota.

Shifter Karts / TAG Karts etc....
