No, I think you'll regret it. I have the GT2 coming but it has'nt excited me like the RS or GT3 for that matter. Lots of power but a bit plain otherwise for F-car money.

I might consider trading it with someone that has a GREEN RS..... List price for list price.. Can still change the color & build

if you could get market price for the RS and MSRP for the Gt2, it would be a no brainer. The Gt2 performance envelope is on another level

That's a tough one. I'd get both if I got the GT2 at MSRP(trying that angle presently). But, if I had to choose, it would have to be the RS...it just has the curb appeal like no other car and it's too much fun to drive. I know the 2 is wicked fast, but I'm just partial to a normally aspirated car.

i'm looking forward to having your dilema one day. good luck with the decision! both are amazing however I think the orange rs is a classic in the making.

I think the green rs is also going to be a classic, but the GT2 is out ther in in a driver car.

GT2 aint that plain....it has launch control and multi stage defetable PSM that does not interfer will in track use and only comes back on when the drivers reprograms it too.

I think what makes the GT3/RS special is the high revving engine. The GT2's power is awesome, but I really wish they would have made the engine a bit more special, imagine a turbocharged 8,400rpm engine :O
