I tend to think 95% of RS owners that do sell will trade up for a .2 RS. No matter how awesome the .2 GT3 is, all that means is the .2 RS will just be that much better. And they know it.

Congrats and enjoy in the best of health. A keeper for sure and I'd make the same "trade" in a heartbeat!! And TANGERINE- WOW! Truly spectacular!!

Just to help the discussion, the driver is the guy that made the 7:00 lap on the 991.2 gt3. This RS has been Manthey'd, don't know if it has suspension (KW), tires aren't new, there is a passenger, not a flying lap and loses 3 seconds at the end, all in all, a high 6:50 BTG time, + 20 seconds for the full lap.

Who can put a number on the enjoyment this car brings them? If I end up losing $50k to drive this car for 2 years then so be it. I'll do it again with the next one if I have to.

People wait and wait and wait for the right deal and the right time and everything else. I bought this car in September 2016 and couldn't imagine the last 7-8 months of my life without it, even to save all of what I paid over. I didn't get to where I am by waiting and waiting and waiting... life will pass you by.
thanks for all the advice. this one really stuck to me. pulled the trigger on this beauty.

i totally agree with you, best ever looking car, But the manual transmision is a must on this cars and i can't understand porsche for putting a 4.0 manual on a gt3 .2, im in a big dilemma, wait and see an RS .2 with manual or get the gt3 .2 manual and sell the
RS .1
any thoughts...? Peace, drive safe!!!

After all the hoopla on the MT .2GT3, I'm now thinking AP and Porsche are paying attention and we'll see it in the .2RS.
