To RS or not to RS, that is the question.

Well, you're not going to find an RS in yellow (my favorite color) and your GT3 looks stunning!

Then I stand corrected. Probably not going to be a bargain, though.

For what it's worth I don't think that yellow rs looks better than your narrow body car. In fact I prefer yours.

If I remember correctly, the owner of the yellow RS also has a 4.0. Believe the yellow RS was sitting in a dealers showroom for a little while unsold!

Update: 2/16/16

Looks like I have a decision to make. I was presented with an opportunity to pick up a 2010 GT3, blk/blk with 1900 miles (not a typo). Car is specc'ed just right, carbon buckets, red seat belts and that's it! As expected its immaculate.

With 2 GT3 in the stable and still the desire to move up to an RS, I have some decisions to make.

1) Sell the Speed Yellow (currently 36k miles, but shows more like a 16k mile car, mint)
2) Sell the blk/blk (1900 miles, its soo nice and new...)

I will probably be selling another vehicle to make it work. In a perfect world, I get to buy an RS and also get to keep a GT3, which I would eventually sell to fund a 458 spider in a yr or two. Want to own that Italian mistress before I turn 5.0

Thoughts..


Quick Reply: To RS or not to RS, that is the question.
