Re: Merry RSmas!

you're paying 997TT money for your car... will you be tracking it? was that the basis of your decision?

The basis was he wanted an RS not a Turbo. pretty simple I think. what makes one think the Turbo is so special?? what? is it special because it has a turbo? ... I wouldn't and will never buy a turbo.
\ The news of you picking up the RS is great!!!! enjoy it!
sorry if I sound harsh.. I simply hate to hear comments about price? if you want it buy it. I have to say the price on the 997 RS is OK as they are most (if not all ) already spoken for? IMHO the turbo is simply a fast heavy pig.

hahha

Wow, I do agree that a lot of people feel if one spends 110+ on a car they have to get a Turbo. If I was buying now I would get a 997S Cab with X51. Yes I know close to a Turbo but you just can't replace the drop top.

Re: Merry RSmas!

The turbo is not even CLOSE to the best car Porsche makes (and I am not referring to the CGT or GT2). A boxster is more fun, IMO (and yes, I owned a 996TT and a boxster). Now the GT3 RS...THAT makes my motor run.

Go man go!

Re: Merry RSmas!

I think the 997tt and the GT3/RS are very different animals. Even though I have only driven a 996tt but not the 997 yet.

While the tt is the perfect Gran Tourismo, well defined, powerful but still safe and comfortable the GT3/RS is more of a toy. It gives you an entirely different experience. It is harsh, loud, requires much more attention but then again gives you great fun, particularly on the track. So I was looking for a purely toy car, that's why I think the RS is better for me than the tt.

Hope this answers you're question.

I agree! Although I was simply stunned by the RS I saw at the Paris motorshow, one thing didn't please me, the orange doesn't match the yellow callipers!

Excellent choice by the way! There's no car I'd rather have
