getting an rs should I keep my Turbo ?

I finally found the right gt3rs, a new 2008 all black car. Just like the blk car that was for sale at motor cars int'l a few months back, but my car will have ceramics. I have not driven an RS yet just read all the amazing reviews. Since I have not driven the car yet I can't decide if I want to keep my 997 TT or trade it for the RS. I do realize I can not drive the RS as often as the Turbo but just wondering if I will still want to use my TT much when I have the rs which everybody describes as much more fun to drive and I have another daily driver (audi s8). Anybody still drive their 99 TT after getting their rs ?

S8 -- 4 door daily
TT -- wet Porsche
RS -- dry Porsche
all you need is a truck and you are set!

I would trade your TT for the RS and never look back. You don't need two cars that fill the same niche. If you don't agree later, you can easily replace the Turbo. But and RS weekend car with an S8 daily driver is a great package. The Turbo will likely sit unless you drive it everyday and the S8 sits. But on the weekend when you go for a "drive" the Turbo will not be the car you pick (unless it is raining or snowing out)!

I agree and think I will get rid of the turbo, especially because I have a 430 coupe 6 speed on the way .

I really doubt you will ever drive the TT once you get behind the wheel of any GT3. Sell it!!! I have driven my 997s only 200 miles in the past 12 months and the GT3 16,245.

Ditch it, the rs sounds better, looks better and is better imho
