Chris Harris said he'd be reviewing this around May. I'm interested in what his conclusion on the RS will be, but I'm assuming it will be rather similar to his conclusion on the base GT3. Great car, would be better with a manual.

Hmmm for under 100k couldn't you get a new Corvette Z06 or whatever and have money left over for a boat?

Yeah for all that time you want to keep it nice and low in that rev range for comfortable stop and go driving.

anyone considering a 991 GT3RS would not be interested in a Z06 and vice versa. They are both track rat cars but they appeal to completely different demos....just like GTRs.....

Z3guy, please take your logic and get outta this thread. We're busy magazine racing cars we have no experience with and will never afford.

my modded 996 GT3 had approx. 300tq for 3000lbs and it pulled harder than my 400tq from my 4000lbs M3, especially at higher rpms and speed. The powerband is what makes the GT3 rock....your powerband is from 3000rpms to 8000rpm+

I think I want a 996 gt3 more than any of them, just based on the ugly duckling stigma and the attainability of it. Its 3/4 of a supercar for 1/4 the price.

^ the 996 GT3 is the only GT car that is still relatively affordable. I really regret selling mine, the thing was just awesome. Seeing the cars you like Westopher, you will luv luv the rawness and suppleness of the GT3. GT3s are miles ahead of M3s in all dynamic aspects, except comfort. The steering feel and chassis stiffness is awesome! You could daily drive a GT3 no problem. Also, at approx. $60k for 996 GT3, you will lose nothing when you sell it. I think 996 GT3s have hit the bottom of the price curve.

Porsche is the Apple of cars, if they ever lost the fans that are so eager to throw money at their overpriced Beetles they'd be fucked.

I agree the videos I posted are garbage, sadly they are the only option available at this time.

Having said that, let's be clear; Chris Harris videos are about 10x better than your shitty touge videos.

Trouble with buying a 996 GT3 will be how you feel every time a 997 GT3 drives by and you can't help but feel ashamed of your hipless 996 with rising dough form dash shapes.

I agree with your comments, 997.1 GT3 exterior looks so much better, and let's not even try to compare interiors but my wallet would thank me!

$60K for 996GT3
$100K+ for 997GT3.

In regards to performance, 997.1 GT3 is only marginally faster.

More like 70k/90k and the 996 will have higher kms... The 996 cars have jumped up in value.

Maybe 90K USD, which as of late "feels" like… 200K CAD.

I recently bought some goodies for the GT3 from the USA and the exchange rate was painful.
