Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'd definitely prefer the RS (well, assuming I was going for the fun vs. practicality), but I just don't think straight line performance would be too close, even though PTW favors the RS, due to the Turbo's AWD.

The turbo revs up to only 6700 rpm vs GT3 and GT3 RS up to 8800 rpm. Sound, excitement and thrill wise, turbo has nothing on the GT3 or GT3 RS.
