Cant decide..

Hi need help in deciding which car to buy.

Turbo 997.2 or GT3RS? or don't buy and stick with my R8 V8 and wait for 991turbo...

Depends on what you're looking for...

A Turbo is going to be a much more powerful version of your R8, being very livable for street driving.

While the GT3RS is going to be a much more track oriented car, not nearly as street friendly as your R8 V8 is, it will be louder, harsher and way more fun

This really only scratches the surface though.

The search feature is your best friend. This is probably the most discussed topic in this forum. Like the previous poster said, it really depends forwhat your looking for.

I've had both - what I can say is the RS is MUCH more compromised than the Turbo. I put 12k per year on the Turbo. I may do half that with the RS. That's not to say the RS is less fun -- it isn't. But if you like driving your R8 around town the RS is pretty crap for that.

my .02 cents. when i bought my 2010 gt3 i had a 997 turbo as my daily driver. post gt3 purchase the turbo just sat in the garage. no comparison in fun factor. gave turbo to my wife.

If you drive everyday get the turbo

If you drive weekends and want to go to the track get the Rs.


Keep the R8 and get rid of the first gen car.
