The RS remains the same
This is a public service announcment for those who have difficulties putting 2 and 2 together.

GT doesn't have Sport ABS or the Recaro seats... which would not likely sell well if it was brought to the states as is.
Well this could be just a Japanese thing, if you look at the specs for the JDM RS, it comes with, Steel rims, no recaro seats, no sound deadening, no A/C, no ABS, doesn't even come with Brembo's if I remember reading right and so on and so on, it is meant for rallying, what teams whould want to buy a GSR at full cost and then remove half the stuff, when the RS is already cheaper to buy, because it doesn't have half the extra crap.
I think the GT would sell ok, probably better than the USDM RS as quite a few guys have already decieded to change out the Recaro's for Sparco's and Bride seats, and why is that, cause we have the fat American Recaro seats, I still think that they need to keep the JDM Recaro's or have the option at the dealer for those who are a little heavy set.
Also look at the MR in Japan it comes with the 6 spoke enkei's standard and the BBS rims are an option.
So it will all change when it comes to the US release as you guys are all too fussy
Probably have an extra large cup holder, for a 7-11 big gulp (bed wetter) and a pull out tray for your Mc Donalds
