GT3 or wait for RS?

Got rid of my 2010 GT3 a year ago.... Picked up a 2009 Scud. I miss Porsche. Should I order a gt3 or wait for the RS?

I'd wait for the RS, if you can get your hands on one. When you do you can sell me your Scud cheap!

Wait for RS if you get a new 991. 👍

The RS release date is not yet known. Get a GT3, enjoy it, sell it with a minimal loss in value when the RS arrives!

If you're not worried about being bummed when the RS comes out, get the GT3. Looks amazing from reviews I read/watched.
Also, if you're willing/able, of course get the GT3 and then trade-in to the GT3RS...

Get the GT3. It can now be used every day. While the RS will most definitely be only track use.

Oh another point I forgot:
If the new GT3RS will have again those STUPID strings to open the door instead of a proper door handle, get the standard GT3. Give me a break, how much weight is that saving? Less than if you use the restrooms before driving I can assure you.

I don't feel comfortable getting wires to open the door for ~$150k. Actually, not even for $15k.

If you haven't already ordered a gt3, you'll be lucky to get one before the RS is even released. At least get yourself on a list or 2.

As others have stated - If you're high enough on the pecking order at your dealer get the GT3 and then the GT3RS when it is available.

Look, the door handle straps are a "statement" more than anything. Don't criticize that too much. I would definitely wait for th RS if you are in line to get one. Yes, weight savings is a big deal, but don't get caught up too much in the marketing stuff either. There is a lot more to like about the RS.

Haha, sorry
But honestly that's my opinion. A relative was interested in the GT3RS a few years back. We went to the dealership in Miami, he saw the string door handles, and we left.

Now that you said straps my point of view completely changed.

really? the straps bother you that much? its unique to the RS... dont buy the car then.

To walk away from a car simply because of this is actually pretty sad. Rich people problems I guess.
