To each his own, but.....

I have one of each and I will say, my wife drives the Turbo and never drives the GT3RS, and I only drive the Turbo if we go to dinner....the rush of the turbos is cool, but pales in my opinion to the rush of the tach to 8400 rpm on the GT3RS, to say nothing of the screaming bypass exhaust note of a normally aspirated engine vs the lower quiet growl of the turbo....just saying....both are great, but if I had to pick just one.....well, wouldnt be a hard decision...adios turbo...

don't drag race against your wife! lol

haha just kidding....I love the GT3 as well and the RS varient....I've had plenty of students with both and am very familiar with those cars as wwll as the cup cars from 993 on up...all excellent for the race track. Although I've been instructing for PCA since '05, my first Porsche was a turbo and I was hooked on the boost since ... I've since sold that car and now have a GT2...which I like for a great all around car, great handling, RWD, very fast ...benefits of the RS and turbo in one car...even so for a race car I prefer the Cup car (especially in the RSR varient) over anything and when I go to the track I use my race car so the GT2 is used on the street and if I want to take student out in one of the intermediate groups and work on things like line discepline, transition throttle/brake etc...etc...

mightly fine car you have there by the way

Roflmao

Ok touché on the drag race comment....and also must admit the turbo gets better mileage but I get more smiles per gallon. As an ex WERA bike racer, the gt3rs is the closest thing I could find to a bike with 4 wheels....like ur turbo affliction, old habits die hard.....

Yes we do have a 4.0 liter engine package for the 2011 GT2 RS.



Same features as the above kit with some specific upgrades for the GT2RS.
