RS the R is Meh IMO. If it wasn't limited production they would hear crickets.

+1

I respect it, but I'm not too bummed that I didn't secure an allocation.

When I want an MT, there are other, older 911's that tickle me more. And newer cars? GT4.

track or street: RS
my d**k is very small so i need to compensate with the wing. i plan to put RSR wing on my RS. big is better. stop kidding yourselves.

R: i will get one when tehey put a 80" wing on it. oh. that's an RS...

MT: porsche has not made a good stick shift ever. well maybe GT4. the shifter in all porsches sucked. i put up with it b/c i had to. now pdks. voila. so cool i can surf RL while driving now....

YMMV

RS the manual on the R makes it slower due to the human factor...as a matter of fact in the R you will be paying for performance you'll never be able to extract.

Mooty is right, I have had a dozen manual 911's I just put up with it.

@Mooty, sorry about your dick.

RS without a doubt.The R looks like a 991 Carrera with nothing special except decals. Take away the gearbox and I bet 99% go RS. I personally am a HUGE MT fan but have grown to love the PDK so much that I would hesitate to change it on this car. It is truly that good. The sound and looks of the car are just awesome which is what a car like that should be. Take the stripes off the R and put it up against a white RS and see which draws a crowd????

Completely naive comment but I get why it's fun to stir the pot ever now and then with flamboyant comments.

...because we're all extracting maximum performance from our GT3's and RS's. Ha.

Wow. Really surprised at how this vote is turning out.

I'll take the R for the street and have a Cup for track.

But if Cup is not an option the RS is real sweet.

R is 185K for a manual 911 with the same engine as an RS.

Look at the stats on how many manual 911's they sell vs PDK.

Look at the poll numbers. I still say they would hear crickets.

My current list: RS, TT, 488. I am not jealous.

The RS looks great,don't get me wrong,with the wing/wide body and all,but I can't do automatics. It's like getting to first base with Bar Refaeli and leave from there with blue *****,it's no fun...
R only if Bar Refaeli is included other than that:

RSsssssssssssssssssssss

So 75 percent go for the RS. And I still have zero chance ever acquiring an R

I totally agree as most should but the 911 mfg number worldwide supposedly offered only to those who already spent $1M on a car teases everyone illogically because they can't have one. Emotion always prevails over logic.


Quick Reply: Assuming both cars are NOT limited, R or RS?
