Seems about right -- I'm finding $120k in near-new, untracked condition, and $100-110 for those that have clearly been tracked.

I`ve posted a comparison of the GT3 generations in another thread some time ago,...take a look at the performance data

even though I don`t understand why the GT3 RS was not considerably faster than the GT3,those are the times they actually measured..

I hear you - but I am waiting for the 2010 RS, and in the meantime, I actually like the way the older RS looks. The truth is that I will never be pushing this car to the limit anyway, so might as well go for the more limited version. So the dilemma is whether I just hold onto the TT and wait for the 2010 RS.

Folks, thanks to all for your thoughts. Took your advice and went with the GT3RS. See Phil's post https://teamspeed.com/forums/gt/2909...-wash-wax.html for initial photos. Will post more when I get to it.

While I initially struggled a lot with the decision because I thought I would regret letting my custom-ordered TT go, my first real drive made me realize I will never go back. I respect and loved my Turbo, but this is the real deal.

Thanks again.
