I have 2 RT/10's, a 94 and a 2000. Love the look of the car over the GTS. Can't be beat on a nice summer day. I don't do any racing so that is not an issue with me. I got the 2000 because the 94 leaks and I just wanted something nice and new although the older one is in great condition. Everyone has their own reasons for what they buy, but I think both are great cars!

Ya, Mark, I put in a post regarding the GTS vs. RT/10. My reasoning is that I prefer the RT/10, however, my finances would limit me to a gen1 RT/10 or a '96 GTS. So it's a littlew more than just RT/10 vs GTS. What I'd like to find out is if the benefits of the GTS (revised aluminum suspention, better engine, adjustable pedals, etc.) significantly outweigh the experience of an open roadster. There have been a couple of good responses which I have found useful.
