...well not wrong because of this specific model.

It's just that I already own a 7.2 GT3 which I am using as a daily driver. I even have a set of wheels with winter tires to go with it.

Using highly advanced man math/logic I convinced myself that getting an RS on top of it is a wise idea.

I adore my GT3 and it's just the perfect car for me. However, piling on the miles does leave me with a bit of an uneasy feeling as it is a very special car. Hence I thought getting an RS (at least it's somewhat different to the GT3) on top, would make things much easier. I can continue driving the GT3 everyday and have an RS to cherish for the long term.

Then I came across a well cared for white/red RS with all the relevant trimmings at an official Porsche dealer including full warranty and a highly attractive price. So I sealed the deal today.

Now, tell me I am wrong...

Worst I've got 2 GT3's thread ever.

Jokes, can't tell you you're wrong as sounds like a perfectly logical choice to me biggrin

Definitely wrong, far too much risk of depreciation and they will both need a 10K refresh any day, so you give the 7.2 RS to me!

Like the logic! You did well to find an RS, let alone one at a sensible price. They are very special cars, enjoy.

Saw a set of GT3 Winter wheels at BHP motorsport the other year after they'd swapped them over for the owner's Summer set.
At the time I thought what a legend smile. That wasn't you per chance was it?

Best case of man maths for sure! Cars are like watches - a man can never have enough.

Enjoy both of your GT3s.

Liking the man math / logic. But suspect you need to cherish both and get a turbo for mundane commuting in all weathers.....you know it makes sense.

That's what I'm about to do... Add a 7 turbo to keep the RS for sunny, special days. Too tempting to us the Rs all the time. So more pork is the only man maths answer.
