I'm #1 in that queue at my local dealer, should I decide to swap GT3 for RS. If they put a 4.0 or offer a manual, the choice is already made

Wow, I think the GT3 looks far better. Not a fan of the RS spoilers. Never have been. Unless I was a track nut I'd stick with the standard model.

That is a problem with the RS...looks like you just missed the exit for the track when driving it on the road. Although, if you remove lame stickers and skip red wheels, it's pretty bad ass looking. I plan to DD the GT3...not so much with a RS. Still, the limited availability makes it pretty special, and if they put a 4.0, 4.2, etc. in it, then forggedabout it...I'm in!

That's the other issue. Rumored at 180k, it's a lot to pay for a 911. Low production Porsches tend to hold their value though. Just look at the 997 RS market today (of course that's due to manual tranny). Personally, would love a Carrera GT more than anything.

Not sure how I feel about a GT3 RS having Turbo side scoops. I always liked the wide hips without the scoop on the GT3s. Makes me think that is a GT2/RS

Does look like you missed the exit . However will need a driver with some serious wheel ability to enjoy the car; way above my capabilities so if I was in the market for a P car, will give it a miss.

Yeah. It just looks too nuts. If I were buying something that I really wasn't gonna drive much for the sake of holding value I'd get an old Ferrari or something and park it.

I wish this were the case actually. With all the new tech and PDK, driver skill is less of an imperative these days.

Funny you should say that; whilst mooching around the 'net, saw an article that actually thinks that the pictures were of a GT2. However there is no mention from P that this is the case. Watch this space.

better yet get a video and everything will be determined. If it sounds like a vacuum cleaner, its a GT2, if it sings to 9k RPM it a GT3 RS. Done deal.

Is that why you still have your green machine? Used 2x's 1/4 mile peddle power only. Wasn't pushed this time.

Ha Brian! My kid has one in the garage! Rarely used. Probably going to be worth a FORTUNE!

I still think it's more likely a GT3 RS. The mesh front end and the sport exhaust are the most obvious giveaways..that and the GAWDY spoiler!

Gaudy but effective. Aero makes massive impacts on a circuit. I'm not sure if it's marketing hype or not, but I love how ferrari is changing the aero game by factoring channels into the body design. Sexy AND functional
