Harris on the 996 GT3 RS - new vid
Discussion
I do get the conflict ,and in a way I regret the old days when he was just an independent reviewer
In 2006 I read a review he did in Total 911 of the then new 997 RS. It very much caused me to want one and I did manage to score one at the time. In 2011 ( I think ) I was at the N24 and he was part of a group of journos driving a 997.2 RS in the race which was similar to my then new RS.
After the race I was in the Pistenklause in Nürburg and had a beer or two with him. Very regular guy, no BS. Of course he is now selllng,
That being said he made the point that the RS was not much different than the GT3. However, they are rare as there was no North American model so only 500 or so were made.
I have later cars that are naturally better but this is a bit foundational even if its a sticker upgrade. Wish I had bought one when they were unfashionable.

What a great video ... 673 cars and the first 200 were special ... they only expected to make 200 (which had engine improvements to the cylinder heads) ... and kept on taking orders until they ran out of parts and the tools were shot.
So why aren't they worth as much as the 997 Gt3R 4.0 ??
They seem to have come up in value. I have some later cars, but the 996 never came to North America officially so they are even rarer here. I do think values will increase further.So why aren't they worth as much as the 997 Gt3R 4.0 ??
