I'm partial to the cleaner look of the standard GT3. The RS will need significantly upgraded content to get me to make the jump.

I love the shaped rear wing, better than the current one..
But overall I think I like the MKI look better.

So far it starts to look like only the same differences between the MKI GT3 and RS minus the sunroof..

I doubt it will get PDK, but I love that wing. Looks much more functional than the current RS wing.

Exactly! The closer to a cup car the better IMO.

Maybe not at first on the GT3 but it will eventually make it there...RS might get it though.

Not sure if the 997 mkII GT3 has titanium exhaust, but looks like the RS does...
