So why do you want the gt3rs? Is it because your track needs demand for it or is it for the flash and show that porsche is marketing it for now? Hence why this gt3rs is "softer" than the last (gt2 included). Its just a status symbol now.

I wouldnt be surprised if they come out with a more exspensive gt3rsr if the new racer wins some championships. This way they can charge even more and give the hardcore's a hardcore car again.
Nope, have a 993 RSR I track. Just want the car. No need to justify it to anyone but myself.

I'm confused. His 993 RSR is what's diluting the brand or the fact that you can get a street legal car with AC?

Since I live in Houston, I'm a little touchy about AC!

Yea, I'm not following that guy either. I have an ex-AMLS + Grand Am 993 RSR that I race (I kind of think that is a little "hardcore") and now I want a GT3 RS with AC? Sounds like I'm looking for comfort on the street not diluting the Porsche name, which I would not care about if that were the case. Get a life buddy or at least a Porsche b/4 voicing your opinions.

I do have a porsche. And the point is the diff between a gt3 and gt3rs. Why get the rs when the gt3 will offer everything you will need.

The old gt3rs was not a "comfort" car. But because everyone wants a gt3rs just because its an RS porsche put creature comforts in them and numbed it down. Like you said your looking for comfort on the streets in a gt3rs. THAT is diluting the brand. The RS models are NOT supposed to go hand and hand with comfort.

That horse (dilution of the brand) left the barn when Porsche started making SUV's. Since what we are talking about is a street legal car with factory options what's the concern? Why gt the GT3 RS? Two reasons come to mind. 1. Because he can. Simple as that, heck I want one, I'm just not willing to let go of the $. 2.Because they are even faster than the GT3's.

I would take some issue with you "old GT3rs was not a comfort car" point. Which RS were you referring to? A 1973 911 RS with a "Touring" package instead of a lightweight?

None of this is about "need." Heck no street legal Porsche is about "need."

buy what you want. I am sure the RS would have a better resale. I would wait for one with a/c tho since that is what you really want.

any body know how many rs's were made without a/c ? Maybe these will be considered "lightweights" in the future.
