Gt2 Vs Gt3rs

Im debating either picking up a GT3RS or the new GT2.....which do you think will be a better performer and have a better feel?

Im leaning a bit towards the RS due to no turbo lag and the high redline.

what do you guys think?

Judging by the cars you list in your sig, we should be asking you for advice!

Get a GT2. You already have a GT3 and I believe the RS will not be leaps and bounds above your GT3. Now the GT2 will be a totally different animal in itself.

i would love to get both but my garrage is only so big.....oh and my wife will not be too happy
One of the reasons why i love the GT3 so much is its responsiveness and how the power is always available....NA

Im afraid the GT2 will be "laggy" like the 997 turbo and will not be as fun to drive as a GT3

Just get the GT3 RS for now and sell your GT3 for the GT2 . I'm sure the GT2 will have more HP and perhaps even with the lag it will still have more torque.

Keep your GT3 and trade your 997tt for a 997 GT2.

997TT is laggy!?! Lag is certainly not what has crossed my mind when driving them!

Even if the GT2 lags it will still smash the GT3, and the GT3's dont wake up until 5k rpm so it feel like an eternity to get in the powerband, that's worse than lag to me, it's only fun if your on the track and can keep the car in the power range. The GT2 will get through the lower rpm range much faster with the turbos, lag should be the least of your concerns.
