You want better handling? Add some light-weight wheels and better suspension:

For trade in alone you will lose more than these mods cost!

I sold my turbo and purchased an 08 RS. I do miss the power of the turbo but the RS puts a big grin on my face every time I look at it. I really liked the turbo and I miss it..... that is, until I fire up the RS.

If I still lived in SoCal, I'd get a GT3. Since I live where it snows, the Turbo is it (I don't want two cars). It's not like I'm complaining or anything...

An RS gets to be Ferrari money. A new RS would buy a 2 year old F430 with ease. The turbo is an everyday car, mine is, an RS IMO is a toy as is an F430.

Aside from your capitalization, punctuation, spelling and general command of the English language, it looks like you are confused about what you want to drive. Throwing these questions to a forum is an invitation to opinions that are unrelated to what you really want. Consider remedial English in adult education.

Ahh yes, leave it to a forum grammar **** to chastize someone from another country for not properly typing the Queen's engrish.

Both are great cars. If you don't take the car to the track keep the TT.

I am with AK997TT...when the RS starts I am grining from ear to ear!!!

P.S If you get the GT3 the sharkwerks bypass muffler is a must.

Kids or no kids? The back seats are great, my kids think they are on Test Track ride at Disney World when I punch it with the sport button activated!

If you want effortless power in all rev range, stay with the turbo, but if you prefer engine buzzing at 8000rpm to go anywhere like in a motorcycle, then get the GT3.
