RAISE and PRAISE! WHICH And WHY? Would You Rather Have The Porsche 911 Turbo S OR The 911 GT3RS?

These days it's tough to pick the ideal sports car. That's because there's SO many options and they're all great. It really comes down to what makes you smile on the inside. And, of course, on the outside.

If you decide to take a walk down Porsche lane and go for a 911, there's a slew of variants. Coupe? Convertible? Targa? GT3? GT3RS? Turbo? Turbo S? The list goes on.

What it really comes down to is how hardcore you're willing to go. If you're like me and want the car stripped out and built with one purpose in mind, you gotta go for a GT3 RS. If you want more creature comforts and the ability to daily drive the thing, then it's pretty easy to go with a standard 911, or even a Turbo model.

But what if BOTH cars do the same exact lap time? Then what?

That's exactly what happened when Evo Magazine tested both the Turbo S and GT3RS. So, WHICH would YOU rather have and WHY?


In a surprising result, Porsche's everyday supercar clocks a lap in the same time as its lighter, more focused 'motorsport' brother. Both handle the track in very different ways. It's downforce versus brute force in the first head-to-head hot lap.

The 911 Turbo, because you can actually get one to order. The GT3 RS while amazing, will cost double or more in the collectors market now. For the price of a GT3 RS you can order a Mclaren 720 and buy a nice daily driver. Also prefer the gobs of torque on a 911 turbo.

I'd rather have a new Panamera than either of these two.

I think the sweet spot is the new GTS. Nice combination of speed, handling and comfort. Less compromises and trade off's than the GT3 RS and Turbo (and Turbo S).

The Turbo can be happily lived with on the street. The GT3 is essentially a track car not designed for the street. The smart buyer would consider the lovely GTS which is like a street version GT3 at an affordable price that can actually be ordered and delivered.

Porsche 911 needs to have a stick for the complete legendary experience. So the new upcoming GT3 w/ stick (911R for everybody else) is my first vote; second vote is GTS because it too can be equipped with the stick. 911R is basically a unicorn that you can't really buy, otherwise it would be number 1 on my list.
