The RS a bum deal in the US? GT3 vs RS
I thought the 997 GT3 was the sh!t...until I saw the RS. I was in love, now I am in major lust. I play that Porsche demo loop of the RS going around the track over and over. lol (It is playing right now so I can listen while I type this). But several cogent issues:
1) Is the RS usable on the street at ALL really? I only commute a mile to work, but I would need to take it every now and again. Is that nuts? I can't remember, does the RS even have TC or PSM? (Just got back from checking the Porsche site...it does have a specially tuned PASM; but TC for rainy days?)
2) Is the RS a rip-off in the US due to all the missing goodies (CGT seats, roll cage, etc)?
3) Obviously it is of a lower production run than the GT3, so SHOULD hold value better. But then the market for an RS is probably very limited, too, as it is more perceived as a race car than a road car.
4) Would it be totally insane to buy an RS as primarily a road car with occassional track duty? My wife loves loud fast cars, so having a "raw" road experience wouldn't bother her at all.
I am not even sure I can find a free RS build slot, but if I could...should I just go for the whole enchilada?
