Good afternon, Just come back from porsche. I test drove the tt and I have to admit this is an amazing animal! it is such a performant gt, and seems to be so reliable and wide range of abilites.
I am just so disapointed with the exhaust note. Like Jeremy Clarkson said they should have called it the Porsche 911 Dyson! However, i am pretty sure an aftermarket exhaust plus sport filters can solve the problem.

I am looking for a car that is producing hoarse noice.

I go wednesday to try an orange 997 GT3 Rs (1) and the new turbo s.

I am looking to buy a reliable, enjoyable car...and one that will not loose all its value over the time that is why the gt3 rs is probably a good choice too.
As i am still young i am planning to build a collection over time and so i love the coloful RS...but should i go for an mk1 or mk2 in this optic? I am not a brilliant driver and I drive on secondary road and motorways...no more!!!

Thanks

Hello guys!

I am back from porsche. I am quite glad because I drove the GT3 RS (a beautiful Orange one, with alcantara interior and an aftermarquet exhaust that was growling like hell!).
I love this car! I can't stop thinking about it. It is like a nothing I have seen before. I felt the car was Alive...everything was well built but moving. I could feel everything. In one word i love it!

It is a car I will HAVE! BUT...i drove the sls yesterday. I have a strange feeling with this car. It is barking like a bad dog, growling like a pitbull...but it is not a muscle car....and it is not monster to drive. I am disappointed by the gear box...but the engine is according to me a success. It is a theatrical car.
We stopped the car several minutes on the shore and after 5min away lots of people were around, looking at it !


So i am very balanced between thos two cuties. i am looking for a car that will not loose too much value in time. And I remembered Jay Leno saying that the Sls will be a collector...according to porsche dealer, he may have had a good "deal" on his car! He believed that none of modern car would be as iconic as some old timer are and will be...
what do you think?? GT3 RS green or Orange, future icone of the last real men's car Porsche built. sls, the come back of the gullwing?

Btw: if I go for an 997 GT3 RS shoudl I go for a second gen or the RS mk1? Love the Mk1...i am not a big fan of the new rear perforated wing sides (even if the shape of the wing itself is more agressive with the "wave" on it).



Thanks to all!

Never, ever use the word "cutie" when describing the GT3 RS. Never again.

^^ I agree. You cut off the GT3's balls with that word..

Personally I don't think the two are comparable.. completely different characters.. I'd go for the GT3 mkII
