sleazius Posted 9April, 2020 Report Share Posted 9April, 2020 I don't know but I do know there were more .1 RS delivered than plain old .1 GT3. When I was waiting for my .2 I was 7th on the list. I ended up picking up the second one for Parra because everyone in front of me switched their money to the RS. I wouldn't be surprised to find there are more RS than GT3 in the .2 as well. Of the orders they had at the time, about 30% were manual. But again, not final figures, maybe someone in the know can enlighten us.

sleazius Posted 9April, 2020 Report Share Posted 9April, 2020 So i sent my SA an email today re: the above (how many GT3 vs RS, and what split manual vs auto). The response was that he's been asked this several times, however PCA won't release the numbers. I'm guessing because they don't want people to know that the rarer car is the cheaper one.

I'm sure your guess is right GT3 Manual < GT3 PDK < GT3RS But cheaper or rarer doesn't matter if you want what the RS offers (for me, anyhow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they do this to stop price gouging, which is fine for a number of years. You'd hope that when the youngest car gets, say 5 years old, they release the data for the enthusiasts.

The 991.2GT3RS looks like an amazing car what got you into RS versions have you had them before ? I've never owned an RS version however I have been very tempted on a number of occasions.

Preference 1 would be 991.2 GT3 manual Clubsport. The Miami blue CTS car is about right. I will track it and PDK is faster but who cares, manual is more engaging the rest of the time. Failing that a black 991.2 GT3 RS would suffice for ultimate track hero status 😁 SS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never owned an RS version however I have been very tempted on a number of occasions. Scott My first GT car was the GT3 Touring, which I still have as a daily driver. The manual is awesome fun around town but things do get frantic changing gears around 9000rpm 😲 I've driven a 991.1 RS years ago, and it felt quite civilized, almost quiet and soft, below 4000rpm. Above 5000rpm it was awesome, and that PDK-S, wow - I wondered if I should change from manual to PDK Some time later, I was thinking about doing some track days, and a 991.2 GT3RS became available at Brghton, and I had a rush of blood over common sense 🤣 Anyhow, the RS is quite different from the GT3T, surprisingly so since they share so much DNA.

For maybe 6 track days a year and the rest of the time occasional weekend drives, would you recommend the RS or would a manual GT3 be the better allrounder? Having driven neither I’m curious, I wax and wane between the 2 on paper. I tend to get white line fever on track so maybe RS is the sharper tool for the job. I can pretend I’m Kevin Estre.

If I'm honest the 991.2 GT3 touring is the probably the perfect car for me and my needs these days....... then i see the wing the cage and the seats in a club sport manual and I go weak at the knees. One thing people should note when considering the GT3PDK V GT3RS is that the PDK is noticeably quicker in the RS, I think they call it PDKS 44 minutes ago, DJM said: For maybe 6 track days a year and the rest of the time occasional weekend drives, would you recommend the RS or would a manual GT3 be the better allrounder?

Scott, save yourself 300 grand and grab a cup car AND a GT3T. Problem solved. Once you’ve had a proper race car you won’t care about the bolt in cage and display fire extinguisher :).

I'd choose a 991.2 GT3 over the 991.1 GT3RS. The 991.2 GT3 really raised the bar over the 991.1 in my assessment The choice of 991.2 GT3 vs 991.2 GT3RS depends on your skill and taste I think. The RS is much firmer, has better turn in, is louder and rawer, and has a greater sense of occasion. If that works for you, RS all the way. For some, the RS is too much, and the noise and sharpness wears them down. GT3 FTW. Test drive an RS for 20 minutes, and all your questions will be answered!

NBTBRV8 Posted 11April, 2020 Report Share Posted 11April, 2020 I see the yellow car that was for sale ago sometime both privately and on Grays Online auction is back on the market.

There was a Red Manual 991.2 GT3 advertised by a dealer in QLD at one stage (about Jan/Feb '20 or so). Advertised for $298k plus on roads ($309k drive away iirc?). Do you recall if that may have been the same Red one you mentioned - I didn't see it at a lower price, but wasn't watching that close?

I don't recall the car you are talking about. But the red $279k Car was discussed earlier in this thread. It had done 20,000kms and had an aftermarket exhaust on it. When the owner was trying to sell it back in the day he wanted $360k and said this made it akin to an RS! It then was listed formal by a dealer for a number of months and slowly dropped to $279k gradually over time. 54 minutes ago, smit2100 said: Trade in on a the Bentley? 250 tradein?
