Default '10GT3 or '07 GT3RS

Cars have same mileage, basically listed at the same price, the RS a little cheaper. Limited track use.

Which car would you prefer?

There is a theory that says always get the newer car....

It looks like you already have a .2 GT3? In that case, definitely the RS.

I do.... it's not for me.

My '10 GT3 is not going anywhere until there is more info on the 991 GT3 RS and maybe not then

What color is the RS? That would play a large factor in my decision making.

Thanks Jax! I had a 2010 GT3 in white prior to the .1 RS and I loved it too. And they look really good in black!

They do look great with black and orange, but I'd probably have to find an orange or green one to really make me want it more then a 3.8

The 07 GT3RS will hold its value probably better..this is the financial aspect.

For daily use the 10 GT3 would be better..

good luck

If i had to choose between the two, i would do RS.

The RS is plenty good for road and track and has the limited wide body appeal.

The RS also has 5 lug wheels.

I dont think you friend would miss the slightly larger brakes and .2 extra litre displacment of the 997.2 non RS.

If you gotta have an RS you gotta have an RS. Look left and you'll see what I chose. Caveat is I have never driven 7.2. Nice decision to make.
