Default GT3 RS - Limited Edition - 500 Cars - 500HP!!

I read on another forum that Porsche is planning a new GT3RS Limited Edition.

They are making 500 cars with 500 HP to Match!!

Apparently it will have a 4.0L engine.....

I hope that this is B/S as I was under the impression that the new RS was the limited edition!!

By the way. How is the RS going?? Do you still own her??

I want to add another car to collection and the only 2 that come to mind are the 458 & the SLS.

Since you have the RS & the 458 would you do it again or get a GT car the SLS instead??

I need a JPEG of Susan Powter exclaiming "Stop the Insanity"!

If they did do this I can almost guarantee the SharkyWerks 3.9 would still be a better experience.

Aaaiiiiight!

The Baller Edition will take care of all the various factions in this segment.

Will come with a case of Cristal.

Although that will **** off the Jay-Z faction. He has a beef with the house of Roederer and insists on using his own brand of ridiculously overpriced bubly "Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades" (don't shoot me for spelling it wrong).

I still have the RS but I think I am going to list it for sale soon, its just not getting enough mileage and my children prefer to ride in the f-car .. you know how that is. It will be a bit sad to let it go as it is a wonderful sports car and is world class in its own way, but for me the sensory experience in the 458 is sufficient.

If I were to do it again I would probably go with something more GT, as you say. I have seen the SLS a few times in person and I do like it a lot, that would be on the short list. I wonder how it is to drive. Did you see the comparo in Top Gear (UK edition) this month? It covered 458, GT3RS, SLS, and Gallardo Superleggera. Epic.

Yeah,

Clarkson Loved the SLS which doesn't say too much. I think that the clear winner was the 458, however it was pretty clear that as a GT car the SLS was the best.

It was also in EVO mag and against the Turbo S, Aston Martin, R8 V10 and 599 HGTE and the SLS won that battle too.

Thanks Heaps for you advice, really appreciated!!
