GT3 RS. I wouldn't even think twice about it.

RS... TT, and I don't mean this offensively, is almost a GT car nowadays as opposed to the ultimate sports car it used to be


50% are bought with tiptronic

Took the plunge

I will say the driving experience is night and day. The TT is a very forgiving Porsche and would be attractive to any purchaser of a high-end car by todays standards.

On the other hand, the RS is an absolute sports car from the wheels up. It gives you the ultimate driving experience. You feels as one with the road.

Thanks again for all your responses. I will keep you update with any new info.

RS is the balz. Made the TT feel like a fat old road boat. Porsche published 0-60 times are only a few ticks apart and a full power row through 1-3 gears in the RS can almost scare you because of the lack of any turbo lag. And the sound of the flat 6 shifting at redline is incredable. Often makes me go out of my way on the ride home to blast through my favorite underpass with the windows open.
RS rides OK for me as a DD but attracts a lot of attention, a lot of that from rice grinders.

RS for me. TT is a great all around sports car. But for pure all out fun, I'd go with the RS. That car leaves no compromises.

The turbo sounds like a good choice if you need it as a daily driver. With some simple mods you'll have amazing power and the car will be more "streetable".

Though, I do love the RS and if you have a second car I say go for it.
