You'll want to talk to this guy. He actually has one for sale and knows a thing or two about the car.

I have put about 350 miles on a close friends car, if you have any questions please PM me. I can also put you in contact with the owner if you would like.

Give it another 90 days...your wallet will thank you later. IMHO the 4.0RS is going to be the keeper.

A 500HP normally aspirated 911...in my dream garage its parked next to my CGT.

If I can get a fair number for my RS would consider a 4.0!

Two toatally different cars. I have a GT3 and my friend drives a GT2 RS. The 2RS is a highway missle but feels numb engine wise compared to the GT3?RS. It has no engine noise and you cant drive it fast becuase everyone is to busy staring and taking pictures on the highway. If you are looking for a car to have fun in get a GT3/RS it is less outragouse and has the better exhaust and engine note.

2RS or 2 is a Track missle, granted the engine note is not even close but Much better with a modified exhaust.
