wow... E-Man, your 16m looks great. Love the italian stripes. Full red stitching on the interior I assume?

Any pictures of the RS?

You'll have the top Porsche, so why not sell the GT3 and keep the 16M? Then you'll have two different driving experiences.

E-Man, you have a very big dilema on your hands (granted it's one I would LOVE to have). I have been fortunate enought to have a very close family member who has owned a 997.1 GT3 RS and currently ownes a 16M (rosso scuderia) and have had good seat time behind both. For what my $0.02 are worth, I would personally keep the 16M and trade the RS. While I absolutely LOVE the .1 RS, at the heart of it, it is a 911 and you will always be able to purchase another one. The 16M is a much more special car and even in a volitile economy, is holding it's value extremely well (I know of a black one with just over 1k on it that just sold for $298K. That combined with the raw driving pleasure it gives, I would not want to ever part with it. Not to mention, a 16M and CGT in the same garage........ That would make anyone smile even on the worst of days!

That is a gorgeous .1RS. Still regret selling mine.

If you're serious about selling it, let me know. I might be interested.

pm me if you decide to part with the 16M. It would look great next to my CGT (also silver/black)

Forum member Jamie has the CGT + 16M combo. I think it's ultimate, would def be the two cars I keep... and then maybe add another RS in the future.

Good luck with your choices. keep us posted please.

E-Man, just had another thought, have you considered a storage lift therefore allowing you to keep all 3 cars?
