Default Traded my Turbo for a GT3RS

A ton of difference in these two. Turbo is a GT car, RS feels like a race car. The two look siimilar (except for the spoiler) and drive very different.
I guess I have to move to the GT3 forum. I am posting a picture over there.

One may 'feel' more like a race car, but both are street cars...now a cup car is another story.
Enjoy the 3rs, it's all good.

Yes they are both street cars. When I bought the Turbo I intended to use it as a daily drive about half the time. I ended up using it as a toy so I thought the RS would be fun. I can always trade it for a Turbo later if I like.

I have both. The Turbo is much easier to drive on the street, but I do use my GT3RS as a daily driver around DC. The GT3RS is much more guttural. Speed is a relative feeling, unless you track the car. OTS, the GT3RS is a much better track car, although the TT could be made into a great track car.

^ TT not quite as good and can not be made as such for track use due to excess weight and AWD, I have driver the RS II and TT S back to back on track...although the turbo S is faster on straights, it is harder and less precise getting it through corneres.

Sorry to be so late to this thread. I just read an article in the latest Autoweek (? not sure), where they tested both a GT3RS and a 997 TT at a track (forgot which), and both driven by a pro-driver (whose name I also forget... Bobby Rahal's son?). That's what old age does for you. But I digress... he LOVED the raw feel and nimbleness of the GT3RS. But the bottom line... the TT was actually faster per lap. It was quite a surprise to the driver to find that the TT is so damn competant.
