Fellas, the RS is partially a "decal option" as you say but there are some distinctions.

If they don't make 1200 more for the US market it will be a better keeper than a TT however.

There's always other options too...
It will definitely be the better keeper from an economic standpoint. The car will always be a collector's car if it stays a garage queen. Get the green one!

To be used for track/street mixture.

No cost issues involved. Straight up.

HELL NO

i vote no. stay with the tt for all the reasons noted by others.

personally, i like less powerful cars for track use. you become a better driver as you don't have the horsepower to overcome your mistakes. passing faster cars is lot of fun too!

This is interesting.

Frankly I expected someone to defect.

If I had asked this question on the GT-3 Board I know there would be a loud unanimous NO. But I didn't expect such fealty.

Cool. It is one special sombich of a car.

Why would anyone buy such a incredible car and keep it in garade to watch how the value grows....well maybe its for some people but i could not resist not driving it every day! And yea that green does look good! But as for trading tt for gt3 i would not do it..im still waiting to see how gt2 will come out
