Jamie, do you have experience that suggests $10k south of list is the right range? If so, would be very helpful - thanks.

I'd keep your white 997tt but that's me. I've never driven a GT3.

The real question is, what do YOU want to do? There is no bad decision as I see it.

Just watching various forum threads, I'm very confident you could find one for that. Asking prices are very different than actual selling prices and anyone with cash can find good deals.

Patience is a virtue, however, as today's good price will look high come mid-January.

Checked out both the black and orange GT3RSs today. Orange was very nice while I wasn't excited about the black. While the Orange was striking on the outside, but the clutch was really uncomfortable and neither car could replace my Turbo with respect to balancing performance and usability. I might mess with my Turbo like Karol and transform the body to a GT3RS body. Or may just wait for the GT3RS FL to come out in a few years.

Thanks everyone for helping me think through this.

You have to drive both. They're very different animals... One is more luxurious, quiet, relaxed (the TT) and the other is more visceral, loud/rattly and harsh. Personally it's the RS for me

You can't really compare a turbo to a GT3RS even though they cost about the same.

One is a supercar for the street, the other is the king of the track. Ideally you should have both in your garage. If you have just one car, it has to be turbo for comfortable daily use.

And please don't do a GT3RS body kit. A turbo is a turbo, not a GT3RS wannabe...

Alex, I see what you're saying -- I would be more passionate about the GT3RS than the Turbo for sure if I had both, but having to choose one for now, I couldn't replace my Turbo with the GT3RS since I would be using it on the street 99% of the time.

Tim, you're right on the GT3RS wannabe point -- I may just play around with different wheels.

Does the poll result represent your intent?
Are we going to see that RS?
