Congratulations! You should do a write-up comparing the driving impressions for the GT3, RS, and the F430!

 

Why not...?

 

I bow down to you, sir. Amazing stable!

 

speechless.....very nice!

 

I love how the Italian is stored away for safe keeping. Wouldn't want to hurt the fragile ***** now would we

 

forhamilton, fyi the "fragile *****" got 5k hard miles in the last 12 months, several track days, is often put away wet and dirty, and has not had a single warranty problem (knock on wood) during it's life. I'll take that kinda fragile any day and I suspect other 430 owners on this board will tend to agree. Ok, now I'll stop being defensive...

 

Nice additions! White is a great color for the RS, enjoy!

 

nice way to grow the family! White RS looks great.

 

Amazing! So how do you compare the GT3 to the RS? are they really similar? or does the RS feel more special because of what it is?

Congrats!

 

One can only be forgiven for a sunroofed GT3 if he also had a GT3 RS

Nice pair

 

that was one of the reasons I used to justify getting both, as well....

 

Ok, here is my clinical, unemotional response to your question:

1) I like the rattle of the RS's LWFW at idle - nice vibrations
2) I like checking out those big hips and wing of the RS in the rear view mirrors
3) The atlas grey 3 is only noticeable to the Porsche cognoscenti - I like the stealth aspect of that car
4) I am probably the 100,000th person to extoll the virtues of PCCB's. The steels on the 3 work fine, but not with the immediacy and precision of the carbon rotors, the suspension seems to react to road irregularities more easily with them to for obvious reasons. Plus they're quiet as a mouse (so far); the carbons I had on my Stradale made loud sandpaper rubbing sounds most of the time.
5) Maybe because it's white, but the RS just looks just way more aggressive than the 3; wider, lower, more eager to attack. Course maybe the bigger check I wrote for the RS has influenced my feeble brain, ya know?

You'll note that my comments are pretty much just aesthetic and emotional. I suspect any true performance/handling differences will require back-to-back sessions on track days and plenty of those are planned. Since the RS will get more track mods and track alignment settings, it will likely lead the charge out there too.

 

Since I have owned both as well, I claim the RS is a superior car (by more than the premium commanded), time will extol it's virtues. I am now anxious to compare the CLK 63 BE to the duo.

 

Congrats! Hot combo. nice that you have at the "GT3" the complette red tail lights. Nice stable. Have you more car like the CL,F430,GT3,GT3 RS? enjoy the weekend.

 

Great pair!! Great stable too.
