997 GT3 RS 4.0 vs 911R


Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing a rhd 3.8 RS gen 2 in Mexico many
moons ago... :wink:
 

When were you in Mexico 🇲🇽 ?
 

You dope, you were there too when we saw that 997 GT3 RS Gen 2
in Mexico !.

:floor:
 
No way Jose, I haven't been to Mexico 🇲🇽 for about ten years!

Its been a while since the Riviera too come to think of it.

500 bags, blimey, that's silly money.
 
Did someone say riviera? :grin:

It's a tough choice, but if both were the same price (RS4.0 & R), I'd take the RS probably. Ooh, no I'd take the R... Um .. hmm. I need to think about it a bit more

NXI, nice article in 911 & Porsche World this month :thumbs:

Interesting article in there too about the production numbers on the 991 RS, apparently there is internet speculation (which I was unaware of until I read the article) that production on the RS was potentially in the region of 8000! They've spoken to some Porsche bloke though who's said that was poop, likely production will probably be around 3/4000 tops, if that. Why couldn't they do that with the R...
 
Still don't get it people...

The R is a 991 GT3 RS (amazing car obviously) with a manual box that the GT3 RS should always have had in the first place, no rear wing and some different styling.

The 4.0 has the most powerful Mezger, manual and looks better.

If the GT3 RS came with a manual box would you prefer it to the 4.0 because that's the real difference TBH.

Just saying!
 
I must admit, I'm not actually quite sure what you are saying

So you're saying even if the 991 RS came with a manual, would 'we' rather have that than a 997 4.0RS?

Depends on what the motivation was for the purchase in the first place

For driving I'd probably have the 991 RS (if manual), but for sticking away and forgetting until the day I retire I'd choose the 4.0
