Sharky: Torque or RPM's?

Sharky, since you've revived the white beast in a current thread, it made me wonder, if you could only keep one, would you go with the high revving gt3(rs) or a torque beast 996tt(800)?

Which would you rather have for sunday afternoons? Anyone with experience in both feel free to share your opinions...

carnerd is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm going to go out on a limb and say he'd keep the RS.

maxwell... really tough to answer. I'm not sure how I could decide for just one. Colby is probably right though.. I'd say the RS for its handling, fun-factor and just being more controllable. The TT scares me and is a ticket machine It also makes any other car feel slow

torque
because of so much weight, and the giant rear tires, our cars LVOE torque..
extremely stable, so why not ?
as far as high revving.. i love it too (gt3-rs)
but once you have a high torque car, it becomes addicting

just raced an m6 last night, and it was insane how quick, and hard i pulled away..

for sure
nothing sounds as good as a CGt at 8000 rpms, or a GT3rs screaming at 8400
BUT
there is also something special about those two turbo's spooling up,and your head getting pushed into that headrest...

i absolutely LOVE my car at 3500 rpms and 1.2 bar

then once i release the gas, i get that pressurised whistle from the diverter valves

ahh music to my ears
