I really enjoy my GT on the track (who wouldn't), and I have a deposit on a GT3RS, but I can't help wonder why own a GT3RS when I can just track the GT. I'd love to hear some opinions.

 

Quality problem..

 

i can't afford a CGT, thus i have a 996gt3 for track use. however, if i had a CGT, i would not drive a gt3... what's the point?

 

Fayence, I think your signature says it all!!! Live that credo!!!

 

Perhaps if you could buy the RS and track it without concern for its condition it would be well worth it. Tracking a CGT isn't exactly easy on the partial OCD I would imagine.

 

Two totally different cars, so yes, get one and enjoy them BOTH at track events. I would imagine you'd be more willing to progress in your driving skills with the GT3RS simply because if you go off the track, it wont cost you 100K+ to fix it. I say get the RS and have fun with it.

 

Thanks all.

 

Fayence, Let us know what you end up doing.

 

Question really is.....why not?

 

I have a deposit on the RS and I am definitely looking forward to getting it. They are two unique cars. The CGT with its mid engine layout has a very different feel than the 911 does and rather than looking at them as alternatives to each other, I see each of them as compliments to the Porsche experience.

If you can do it and it won't hurt financially, why not try the RS and if you get bored sell it to another eagerly waiting enthusiast. I bet you'll love each differently, as they have different physical forms, different driving personalities and different sounds, etc. Congrat's on working and putting yourself in a position to enjoy such decisions.

 

after owning the CGT everything else Porsche (or other brands) offers would be used or considered as a ''daily'' car for me. doesn't mean u're going to use it as a daily car but there's some occasions u just don't feel like driving the CGT for many reasons. GT3 or GT3RS would be a great secondary car & much less flashy.

 

Yeah much less flashy j/k

 

compare to a Fayence Yellow CGT hell yeah!

 

So true! Forgot it was Fayence Yellow. Wow, the two coming down the road next to each other would be like Easter
