Default ADD a GT4 or change to GT3RS?

I am in the next list of allocations for an RS. But in my 5 months of ownership with my GT3, I am not sure I would want to change to an RS.

I am thinking of just getting a GT4 which is probably a different animal than the RS or GT3.

IMO, the GT3 and GT3RS has minor differences that I ordinary guy like me would not notice.

I track 2-3 a year but I know that a car with 300+ hp or up would be enough for my needs.

Anybody care to give there opinion?

Very honest and I think this applies to a lot of us.

I used to track a lot more 10 years ago. Now I do as much as work /family allows. With kids that are 5 and 9. Not enough time.
A gt4 will be plenty fun/fast IMO if you only track 2-3 times/year. And a little easier and less intimidating than 991RS. Good luck!

Of course, if you get the 3RS at MSRP, you could sell it and buy a GT4 with the profits.

I have a 991 GT3 and a deposit for a GT4 and think that is a good combo. GT4 won't be as fast of course but still fun on track.

GT4 never a replacement for a GT3 much less an RS. I'll take the allocation

Looks like you already decided.
2 Gt cars or one with 25hp more then you have. Now I know that 25hp more GT looks awesome and is limited but also means you might not want to drive it much or resale could be hurt.

Sort of. Just configured a GT4 with PTS and it is 100k. Now that is something to think about.

The post is not to replace the GT4 for the either the GT3 or RS but to add with the GT3 instead of changing the GT3 to an RS.

If I decide soon and take a GT4, I will let you know about the allocation.
