Do you really want a new RS? Why?
Because it exists.....

I disagree - prices will drop as soon as the 997.2 GT3 (non-RS) is in showrooms. Most feel this is already a significant improvement over the old RS for MSRP of $112k...

^ unless your RS is sub 1000 miles, otherwise they are already dropping and dropping very fast i might add.

If the new RS is significantly different from the GT3, be ready for a price shock on it, (even before the Dealers try and have their way with you).

Decision: Track the car as much as you can. The more track days you do, the cheaper the depreciation of the car becomes per track day..

That's my story and I am sticking to it!!

See you Friday night at PBIR? You can almost walk it....

A 993 RS would be nice if you could get it into the Country.

They are cool - I like the 964RS even more (lighter and manual steering). Either will cost you GT3 money though. Probably won't lose any money on it though...
