So basically it's $1,000 per bhp over a regular GT3... hahaha

The additional engine-power is helpful and the better engine-sound pleasing. Nevertheless I am more interested in improvements regarding lateral-acceleration, weight-savings, suspension, downforce, brake-cooling, etc.

That's what the GT3 RS is renowned for. It's definitely no car for drag racing.

the only real reason for this car in my opinion is for the exclusiveness. If a fast bad ass track car is what you want, then you could get a cup car for a lot cheaper, if a fast street/track car is what you want then you could get a 3.9 package from Sharkwerks for a lot cheaper. With that being said i will probably still want my LE 4.0 lol. But logically there is no reason to buy one unless you really want the exclusiveness

The current RS will deliver more than most of us can handle on public roads, even the exclusivity...

Not even. Outside of the race track, I don't think I've ever seen a 997.2 GT3 out on public roads and have never seen a 997.1 RS in the tri state area.

I agree with you in principle, but if you intend to get your car substancially tuned it is advisable that you live in the vicinity of a competent tuner. Heavy track use results in frequent car maintenances, and the average Porsche dealer won't
help you with these modifications.

Besides, in my experience it is much harder to resell a heavily tuned car for an adequate price. I am quite sure the LE will not suffer from a high depreciation.
