What was the price difference on the 996 versions? Maybe I'm wrong, but I figured that a well-kept RS would hold its value better. Maybe that particular RS has be flogged hard at the track with body repairs. I think we'd need a larger sample to know the real values...



Well I don't know the price of a new 996 GT3RS but a new basic 996 GT3 was Pounds72k I seem to recall. I am guessing that a RS would have been at least Pounds10k more than that, given the Pounds15k difference in the 997 models.

I'm just wondering if you spec'ed a 997 GT3 with RS standard options then what is the difference in price then? Because Pounds15k for 20kg weight saving (assuming you keep the air-con) and a larger rear wing does seem a bit unjustifiable to me at least.

I would suggest that the above report from Topgear would have 99% of the same plaudits on a standard GT3. It's just that they obviously haven't test driven that model yet.
