GT3 will cost you more to do track days with in terms of tyres/brakes, as well as depreciation. Lets be honest Deep, you've bought the GT3 and you're regretting it, and you want us to justify it for you! You knew damn well RS should've been the way to go but you bought the GT3 on the spur of the moment! :wink:Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by Sundeep on 26 September 2006

the issue I have with a RS is that for an extra £25/30k over mine it will feel less ......
so I almost need to say goodbye to 993 ownership to realise what I have missed and then come back to it when I'm a bit older and wiser
Yep ! Agree....Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by Butzi on 26 September 2006

Absolutely spot on imho! Apart from the emotional aspects of ownership, I don't think the RS puts enough between itself and a regular 993 - especially one that has already been setup for fast road/track use as Sundeep's car was (M030 etc).Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by Sundeep on 26 September 2006

With the GT3, however, it is a unique beast in itself compared to even the regular 996. The difference with a 993 is even more profound. Even at tickover, a GT3 is completely unique... it will never be mistaken for anything else. At 7/10ths, the performance is on par with a 993... at 8/10ths on par with an RS... and when you put the loud pedal to the metal, you're in a league of your own... especially when Manthey'd!!!
The 993 is a brilliant all rounder and the 993RS very special, being the ultimate air-cooled etc, but there's nothing like sitting in a homologation race car for the road with a Le Mans-winning derived engine sitting behind you on full chat.
D'oh! Sorry, Freudian slip... well, no point in denying the inevitable... :wink:Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by Daniel Sait on 26 September 2006
