Am I crazy for thinking of trading in my GT3 RS

I'm south of Houston and live right near MSR Houston. If you are a member there we can go make some laps in each if you like. I have a CFTP GT500 to compare.

I've seen an Urus up close, and they live up to the 'exotic definition'; Rare + ugly. Dang, that thing is one shitty bubble mobile. Reminded me of a Tiguan with a body kit gone horribly wrong.

Better to have a Trackhawk if you need a speedy bubble.

The RS has a harsh setup but to me it's very livable because I don't expect much comfort out of the thing, I have a Urus if I want comfort and speed.

The only way I can actually put the GT500 to the test is to actually live with one for a day or two. Any Houston members have one, I'll switch you my RS for a weekend :)

Personally I would go for the 18 991.2 GT3 stick.

If your going to sell the RS eventually its not a big deal make the trade. Im thinking you will lose more money on the GT500 though. Is the RS a stepping stone to something better, it won't kill you to drive the GT500 for a year or so until that something better comes out.

Owning a GT three for me is a dream car. I grew up around a 65 356 and a 71 911 T, but I also grew up around Shelby GT 350s, 69 z28rs, 70 ss chevelle (ls6). I will happily settle for the turbo cobra in the garage as my career choice will never afford a GT3

You only go around this world one time. Try as many cars as possible. I’m 47 years old and have had over 100 cars in my life. I never get tired of being behind the wheel of something new and different! Go for it! You can always buy another GT3.

I saw a Urus the other day and all I could think of was Pontiac Aztek.

Thats funny, I thought the same thing. I was behind one in traffic and thought it was super boring. I looked up the specs and apparently it is just a very expensive Cayenne.

Crazy to compare those 2 but honestly for more street than track use, I’d probably prefer the 500. More comfortable more power more mod potential. But if I’d visit a road course regularly then it’s the opposite opinion.
If you really DD a Urus and own a GT3 you surely can test drive or even fly to Vegas and rent a 500 for the day and contemplate it on your first class flight home.
Just sayin’
