The .1RS is the bomb...that motor is strong and I didn't love any of the colors on the .2
The graphics kill it for me on the .2RS. Luckily, they can be removed and there are some really badass PTS colors.

That being said, I love the .1RS in green.

Rich: Do you still have the RS or did you sell it?

What about Fritz Flyn's Green RS + send it to Sharky or GMG? Close to $100K and done. I'm guessing you don't want/need a garage queen so that would seem like a good fit.

I sold my .2RS locally...my original plan was to buy it back but I really love the .1RS.

Should be able to find a low/no option 997.2 GT3 RS for near that price--new or used.

Rich,

We just bought a nice 5K mile GT3.1 for a client and did the full World Challenge Stage II upgrade package on it and had it out for our track day last weekend. There is definitely something to be said the way the .1 motor revs in the GT3.....fantastic.
And when we put our headers and center section on the car, it made the same RWHP as the 997.2 GT3......so approx 20hp upgrade but it rev'd faster!

With the .2 GT3 close to the upgrade being complete, I am anxious to take it out on the track as well for some direct comparisons and will share the results.

Lastly, with the 991 coming out soon with it's longer wheelbase, wider track, and Active Engine Mounts as part of the Sport Chrono Package and it lapping the Nürburging in an impressive 7 min 40 sec, (a dramatic 14.0-second improvement over the previous model), that will be a strong car in NON GT3 form!

Can't wait to see this car in Cup Car form!

The Fritz car with a Sharkwerks 3.9 or GMG 4.0 would keep one within the 100k
budget.

And Fritz has a Guard LSD!!

I would take the Fritz car with full stock interior/stock seats and clubsport roll bar.

Send it straight to Sharkwerks or GMG for the engine upgrade and install a set of GT2 buckets.

Done.

I'd assume the GMG 4.0 is more $$$ as it uses a new crank and new rods (according to the post made by GMG). It is probably quite a bit more $$$!

4.0 is yesterday's news.

I'm waiting for some lunatic to do a 4.2. The price of admission is a new crank and rods.
