Like Gilles Villeneuve said many years ago "drive the car as fast as the car will go." If you can't drive a GT3 as fast as it will go and still be able to personally go faster, there is little reason to buy the RS.
Then why not buy a Mazda MX-5? Few of us can drive those as fast as they can go on a racetrack...
The RS is rumored to also have PASM, so I don't think it will necessarily be any less comfortable as a road car.
MX-5 does not apply to the argument. The GT3 and RS have the same power figures, pretty similar components albeit the RS has better structure, weight/power etc etc...
So when you compare a GT3 to an RS, you are comparing one model to another where most specs are comperable, but the RS offers a boost more than the regular.
Therefore, when considering the RS, I think its an accurate assesment to derive its use as being a push more than the GT3.
Thusly, a comperable driver who can't push a GT3 to its edge will probably perform comperably in the RS?
Granted (no pun intended), the RS has other intangibles such as exclusivity and resale, but the difference between the two (in anything but serious trackwork) is very minute until we really get to the Nth degree.
