Why would anyone buy a GT3 over a GT3RS (other than money)
If money isn't an issue, why would someone pass on an RS and get a GT3?
Sorry for the philosophical questions but this has been on my mind.

If money wasnt a consideration i doubt anyone would.
But the main reasons would be:
Door handles
They dont like the RS wing...or the stickers(can be removed thou) or the front fenders
they drive on narrow streets so prefer the narrower body

For me money was the biggest factor for my 08 but I also wanted a street ride and found myself more partial to the looks of a non RS, the wing most importantly, just wish the non RS rear was as wide as a RS

Maybe driving on narrow streets does not make sense, but how about parking lots? I have parking my car between other cars, I'm always afraid that someone will dent it...
The regular GT3 is more subtle, maybe some people prefer it. Also on the new gen RS, the color choices are very limited...

I hate parking next to anonymous Joe's who ding you because they are not paying attention, or because they are jealous...

With an RS, especially the new one, both fenders are wider so more probability of a ding...

I would say one big factor is that the RS is further less refined and more suited to be on the track whereas the 3 can be used on a daily basis.
In addition i think one thing that may influence the decision is driver skill level and understanding you do not neccesarily need to get the most hardcore version to have fun and reach the limit.

For me if i was in this situation, my deciding factor would be how much time will this car see at the track, if it is only a few times a year with the rest of the miles coming from canyon drives or daily driving I would choose the GT3 purely because i would rather give the opportunity to someone else who is going to track the RS on a multiple time basis per month or what not and use the car in its natural habitat, the track. However this is just my personal view, good luck with your decision

Every car has it's purpose
Money was one of my factors
The other one is it is the 997.1 is less in your face. People at work just think it's a normal 997......until I start it and set off car alarms thanks to sharkwerks

Personally those types of factors wouldn't bother me, however I see that most people who own an RS also have a different dd that is a little softer and better focused on street conditions as well as other factors.

- Because RS is mostly for the track and the GT3 is, IMHO, the best street-focused Porsche made today.
- Because I didn't have a choice (no RS allocations available, and did not want to pay "flippers").
- Because I'm gonna feel like enough of a ****** driving a white GT3 around
