Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Guys, after a bit of help. I have been in the market for a GT3 RS for a few years and am now in a position to buy. After looking im unsure should i just get the GT3 or will the RS hold better value? I dont plan on track days just a weekend car
Thank you

Weekend car = GT3.
Based on my own experience, not the RS. I have a 991.1RS. It's too wide, too stiff, too noisy to be any fun as a road car. Mine has the Manthey kit on it, mind - the standard PASM might be a bit more forgiving. You certainly can drive it on the road - I've driven it to Spa - but I should think a regular GT3 would be a far better bet.
As per above: Which models are you considering.
E.g., when comparing the 997.2 GT3 and RS you will find that the RS' suspension is a tad more compliant than the one in the GT3. The RS looks wilder though and that may not be to everyone's taste for driving on the road. The latter is true for all RS iterations.
if 991 RS as a better daily driver , larger rear tyres with lift mean no issue with and speed humps ,and gives good cross country ability over muddy fields ( proven in the Somme at Goodwood ) ....plus carbon wings and bonnet etc make it a bit more special .

Agreed. The OP has omitted which variant so this opens the field up. But as Hunter says the RS (991.1) is a bit more special: Carbon nose, CF wing you can actually see past, unlike 991.1 GT3. 918 Buckets which are truly epic visually and really lift the some what plain cockpit. Dare i say it a better engine which up til 2023 has proven to be more robust than the .1GT3 engine.
How about a GT3 Touring with bucket seats?
I guess a 911 R (same-ish) as a touring, will be a bit out of reach, they hold the money to well :-) or got big interest.
