    Surprised you haven’t had many hits on this video- It’s excellent- and I agree with both of your points I’ve owned both 991.2 gt3 manual and an RS Only comment you were slightly wrong about- the RS has rose joints and despite softer bars its suspension is definitely more rigid - you claimed you can’t tell the difference- true on smooth roads, not on most roads, at least where I live !! But you tolerate it because the RS is what it is- a street legal race car vs the gt3 is a track capable road car

    You touched upon an important factor. To enjoy these cars you need a different type of road and those are not primary roads but secondary roads or mountain passes y that’s where these cars come alive and shine. Sadly it may not be possible for a lot to be opportuned to have access to these roads. I have a 993 RS tribute and don’t even bother driving her in town anymore, seems an absolute waste. Only ever comes out to go to the Mediterranean mountain passes or the Pyrenees etc where she comes alive. They are great cars indeed👌🏿🙏🏿

    You fail to mention a few things you might not know about this car. Let me help you out here. 993 RS comes with manual lifters instead of hydraulic lifters, it also is equipped with a kill,switch in the front, it has a way smaller reservoir for the windshield washer fluid and is located in the right hand side of the frunk instead of the huge bottle under the left fender, and it comes with a different front wheel mount to compensate for its lower right height, just to name a few more things😉

  • @Coldgecko
    @Coldgecko 3 місяці тому

    So I have written before. Among others... I have a low mileage 964RS in Rubystone. I also have a low mileage 993RS in Silver. I also have a 1973RS - one paint and original super clean. All these cars from Japan... But one thing I dont understand... My 964RS by far drives the best and most fun because as you know, its like driving a tin can with a large motor... You feel how light it is -- and I can compare because I also have an awesome Japanese 964 in Forest Green Metallic mint condition original. No comparison. Why on earth has the 964RS never gone up in value?

    Investment potential? I watched a video yesterday that said the 675LT might be the best deal on the market because of its depreciation, lot of bang for the buck. How does investment potential square with depreciation? I guess if you hold it for 20+ years and don't drive it, it might appreciate, but doubtful it'd beat the stock market.

You are advocating for people to get Burmester sound system? Wow. You will spend 6k on the option and add 2k in resale value. A loss of 66% in your option investment. The number one option to increase your resale value is a manual transmission and you didn't even mention it.

      Thank you for sharing your opinion. We think context is important here. On daily driver cars such a Cayenne's and Macans you may be right.
