I think a 14mm wider track......that, with lower offset rear fitments.
And....my recolection was a 44mm diff in body width, but I may be wrong.

GT3 width 1808mm
GT3 track 1524mm
GT3 drag 0.29

GT3RS width 1852mm
GT3RS track 1558mm
GT3RS drag 0.30

Both have 305's on the rear but the GT3RS et is 51mm while the GT3 et is 68mm.

Not sure what 0.01 difference in drag coefficient does.

pretty much sums it for me too. Bought my C4S primarily for looks and because I always wanted one since I was small.
