Guys, I have an opportunity to do a trade of my 09 997TT (white on black) for a 07 GT3RS (Orange) - both have under 1000 miles and even smell new -- better than showroom condition. The dilemma is as follows:

I custom ordered my turbo (fully loaded with ceramics and all personalization) so love it aesthetically, but wish it had a little more noise/soul, etc. I would have ordered a new 08 RS if new ones had been available at the time, so I always have had a soft spot for the orange ones, as the "one that I couldn't have". Now that I have the opportunity to buy one that meets my standards (it is also fully, fully loaded), should I do the trade or wait for the 2010 GT3RS (my dealership is saying they should be able to get me one).

The questions I have are:

1. If I could keep one car for 10 years+, would I be happier if I have the GT3RS 997.1 or Turbo 997.1? What if I tuned the turbo to some ridiculous HP/Trq???

2. Would I miss the amenities of the Turbo (i.e., new PCM, bluetooth, etc) or would I not give a crap?

3. If I trade in the current car for a 2011 RS, how much more would I get in 1.5 years for a 07 GT3RS than a 09 Turbo with GT1 engine??

Note: I'm not concerned about a DD since I have my Cayenne. Thanks in advance.

I am original owner of the Turbo, ordered it to my specs. It is a great and fast car....until you drive the GT3. If I could sell the Turbo for anything close to a reasonable amount it would be gone tomorrow, and I would never look back. If the GT3 was gone, I would immediately find an identical replacement.
