Finding myself wanting a GT3rs

Is this normal?

I find myself wanting a 997 GT3RS for some insane reason. Please tell me if I am nuts or if this may be a good move in my future.

Im thinking Orange. Like Halloween action. Or Mexico Blue GT3.

After all this I've been through with the 993... I feel like I may regret it. I'll have to drive one I guess. Or two, or more. Maybe drive a 997 turbo again too.

Cool. Nobody's recommended a GT3 RS. I'll keep the 993

I've had both - a 97 turbo - 07 GT3 and now 11 RS
The RS is the ultimate machine and I love it and would not have it any other way - I do wish that I had the foresight to have kept the turbo as it has increased in value but the GT3s are amazing and would highly recommend one if you can

I think you try to keep both or wait till you can do so. You will regret getting rid of the 993.

That's the plan. Buy a 991 GT3. Keep 993 Turbo. Then a crazy hybrid LS powered Porsche. To beat on.

Just don't drive a GT3/RS. If you do this will be an obsession not just a nice dream.

Carmstrong, been jonesing for a gt3rs as well lately. Love my 993TT TechArt but the idea of an extreme NA Pcar seems like a nice, non-redundant complement.

For those that have driven both cars, how's the clutch action on the gt3/rs cars vs the hydraulic assisted clutch on the 993TT? Unsure if it was OEM or not, but the clutch on my '98 C4S Aero was brutal and one reason I got rid of that car as a DD.

I find myself wanting to drive a GT3 Cup car on the street but I hold myself back , I think you'd regret selling the 993TT for one but if you can keep it and add a GT3RS you would definitely have best of both worlds!
