I'm not picky. I'd take either one.

Very nice. I tend to agree with Chris, but the GT3 was parked next to us in the paddock. I couldn't take my eyes off the thing. Simply stunning.

Funny thing in the bottom picture. That's me walking on the access road just passed the tower. I had walked down the track to retrieve one of my magnetic numbers when I heard these cars fire up behind. Didn't know at the time what they were up to, so figured it was prudent to get off the track.

No matter how cool the new GT3 is, and it has made strides, it doesn't compare with the RS.

It's also interesting that today, they're both worth about the same $$.

When the pics of the GT3 came out I very impressed with the fact they had "old" accents on it. Gotta love the fact Porsche hasn't forgotten it's roots. I'm with Jazz, I'll take either one. Lanna needs a brother.

'73RS is worth quite a bit more. They're regularly changing hands for $250K+. Insane, but true.
