no regrets at all…. i loved my RS but it just doesnt make sense to keep one unless you plan to go to the track a lot...

M5 Pros:
- sits 5 (may not be important to you)
- big trunk (may not be important to you)
- great engine response that picks up speed very quickly
- is faster than my 997.1 RS on the street
- rides better than my 997.1 RS. the RS is way too harsh for city driving.
- interior is much much nicer than the 997 interiors… (997.1 and .2 interiors look so dated compared to other cars on the market right now)

997.1 RS Pros
- looks like a super car
- handles like a go cart due to the super stiff suspension
- will beat the M5 on the track hands down
- sounds like a proper race car with the exhaust by pass

Thank you sir , thoughts was going for the GT2 but a manual tranny will brake my leg because the traffic is heavy most of the time in Kuwait + the ride is harsh like you mentioned and not comfirtable like the M5.
