2010 Porsche Turbo or GT3 RS

imho, the top must go down for me to consider any sports car purchase.

 

Turbo for weekend jaunts. If you want to track it every now and then, it will certainly hold its own. If you plan to track frequently, then GT3.

 

Picked up a 2011 GT3RS (White w/red) on 7/31......... all I can say is W O W! (and WOW).

Actually very suprised on how "nice" it is on the local roads, even on the highway....but, not sure it would be all that fun in stop-and-go. (even w/o breaking it in yet, I've only racked up 750miles on her, but, I do believe "it" really likes hanging above 3k.........kinda like monster-in-a-box).

Needless to say the handling and raw feel you get with/from the car is spectacular.

The axle-lift option is a must if possible. (Not that the front is all that low, but, helps on speed-humps in parking lots, and for me, the da*n rain gutter in the street before heading up the driveway)

UNless youre a track fanatic I would go with the turbo cab.

 

According to the rags, the new Turbo is outrageously fast (as low as 2.8 sec. 0 - 60!!), but the electronics inhibit the driving experience and the exhaust note is unremarkable due to that turbo chopping up the exhaust pulses. You'll most likely crash a Turbo at WOT with the driving aides off. This car is freakishly fast but at the end of the day it is unremarkable because it is too easy to drive fast (w/ aides on) and the body style has little to set it apart.

The GT3 is a drivers car with all that purports. You can shut off the aides and slide it around and the exhaust note is pure flat six.

Then, there's the new GT2 RS, which gives a bit of both worlds.....but still a widow maker.

 

+1

The RS is extreme, it's not everyone's cup of tea, and is visually "out there"... although pictures do not do it justice, here are a few of mine...

I'm in love!

 

+1 Although, I could do without the lipstick. Either way, excellent vehicle and I will own one in the future.

Surely you obeyed that 35mph sign, right?

 

Of course!

Mark, you're welcome to drive the car anytime. Just PM me.

I too am not quite sure about the decals, but would keep the wheels painted.
