I've been saying Fuck the 991 chassis since it came out but now I have to retract that statement. This car looks amazing!

[westopher]

Not that it has any effect on me whatsoever, but I still wish it came in el manuel.
That said I'd take it over any current supercar.

i'm on the other side... i've loved the 991 chassis since it came out! i absolutely love the tail light design.. haha

[InvisibleSoul]

Does it have turbo?

It's my own shit. Ha! I always prefer the previous gen once a new gen is released. It's been the same for me for many vehicles throughout the years. Sometimes the new gen grows on me when I start looking closer at it or see it modded(slightly). The 991 is no different.

[european]

daaaaaaang!

[jasonturbo]

Personally, I don't prefer they styling of the RS to a base 991 GT3, and I certainly don't think the performance delta is worth the extra 50K.

IMO Porsche did not make this car out of passion, they made it knowing they could sell a few more cars and improve their margins over the standard GT3 with a little RS tax. Why wouldn't Porsche want to cash in while the market salivates for anything with an RS badge?

If anything I feel that much better about owning my 997.1 GT3 after seeing vids of the GT4 and 991 GT3RS.

Still though, hot car, and one potential bonus is a little bit of downward pressure on the price of base 991 GT3's.

I'd be taking the GT3 RS all day I think, NA power, RWD, and turbo s is more of a touring car, opposed to the gt3 being a racecar for the street essentially. And for a touring car I don't think I'd need that much insanity that the turbo s provides

And that's just it. One for touring and one for racing. I kinda like that they offer these two cars. AWD Turbo luxury vs. stripped down raw grunt RWD N/A. Two cars that are equally awesome for different reasons.

If you are not buying the GT3 RS because of its price, you have just made your decision for all the wrong reasons.

GT3 RS for me any day of the week

[NotRevSeen]

Watch the rich speculators snatch these up only to sell them once the car appreciates like all 911s Porsches are doing. For half price the Cayman GT4 is best bang for the buck.

I think Timpo is bang on. The GTR would keep up with the GT3RS while costing only a fraction of the money. Starting to think Porsche extracts every ounce of value they can out of their customers.

[Stook]

I was a little disappointed with the price of the RS, I was hoping it to start in the 180k range considering the 997.2 RS started around 160k.
However, given an allocation and 200k burning a hole in my pocket, id still buy one over anything else in the same price range on the market today.

[wrx265]

Buy the Cayman GT4 and a new sti. Still have plenty of cash left. :)

[pastarocket]

This car is sick! -wonder if Chris Harris of Evo is gonna do any test drive of the GT3 soon? :suspicious:

[Z3guy]

Porsche isn't stupid. Most guys who spent $160k to $170k on a new 991 GT3s will be trading in their GT3s for the RS right away. Most porsche guys want the latest greatest toy Porsche will make. I know two local guys that have done this already.

I agree the numbers don't seem to warrant the price premium, but if you had $200K what else would you want? a used Ferrari 430? Mclaren? lambo?

The gap between the 991 GT3 VS 991 GT3RS is still greater than the performance gap between 997.1 GT3 and 997.1 GT3RS. 07/08 RS sold out pretty fast.....

i wouldn't drop that amount for the performance each model has that is so minimal...33lb less weight?..what did they take the spare tire & sound deadening out put in a titanium exhaust system - 50 grand please.

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.

It's just so beautiful. I want one badly.

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+

[westopher]

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.

[Z3guy]

^ 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.

The used specialty car market in general is retarded right now. Once the stock market drops a bit in the states prices will start to make a little more sense, then again, so will my investments. 60-65k is still the going rate for the 996 gt3s in the states still, its just a shame our money isn't worth anything because our Federal Government shit the bed once Flaherty retired.

[bananana]

Uhh, RUF is classified as a auto-manufacturer. They purchase white-cars from Porsche with only a chassis and interior. Nothing else is the same. Not even the doors are the same as a standard 911.

I don't think Rocket Bunny, RWB or Liberty walk, as interesting as they are, even have a single engineer on staff.

yea GT-R is just a Nissan. Corvette Z06 is just a Chevy and Viper is just a Dodge. Ford GT is just a Ford and LFA is only a Toyota, NSX is a Honda too.

Many of those non-prestigious name brand manufactures can build cars that can smoke Porsche anytime.

I highly doubt majority of the buyers are thinking hard about which one is the fastest on the track, nevermind the fact that they don't even have the skill to push their cars to the limit, IF, they even take it to the track in the first place.

I'm sure people buy Bugatti Veyron just because by Guinness World Record it is the fastest car in the world.
You might think where the hell you're gonna go 400+km/h on the street, but people will still buy it for bragging rights.

If Veyron could go only as fast as Porsche 911 Turbo, it wouldn't have been so popular.

[bomiheko]

At least the Porsche GT3 RS will hold its value a lot better than a GT-R. GT-R is pretty much mass produced, everyone has one, just look at the streets. But there's so few GT3's, let alone RS.

GT-Rs are quickly approaching $60k.

[Z3guy]

^ I agree with you RS will hold their value, but to be fair, the porsche equivalent to the GTR is the Carrera S or Turbo, which depreciate rapidly. GT3RS should be compared to one of those Spec V Nismo editions (sorry, don't about GTRs).

$60K for a 5 year old GTR that cost $90K new? I would take that kind of depreciation all day long! haha? a 2012 Porsche Turbo S which cost over $200K new is approx. $120K now! that is bad depreciation!

[westopher]

And a gt3rs that cost 130k USD in 2010 now goes for 150k+! That's my kind of depreciation! I wish I could realistically say I could ever own one.

tell me about Westopher, I was watching 997.1 and 997.2 RS prices drop close to $100k a few years ago and bang they have shot up big time! even regular GT3! that dream is done......now I like watching Mclarens price dropping like mad haha!

I was looking at one up close the other day more intently than I usually do, and goddamn they are an amazing car. I wish they didn't have such a shitty interior. The 996 GT3 is still a dream car for me that has stayed in the somewhat attainable range so hopefully that continues for when I actually have 70k for a car.

[Z3guy]

^ the 996 interior does suck, but with the leather stitched dash/door panels and CF interior, it looks pretty decent. I sold my 04 996 GT3 for $60K, but for a low KMs one now they are going for mid 70s....still good value imo and because the car was built like tank, the maintanance is quite cheap......

[trollguy]

you get over the interior once you start driving it...

even with the peeling CF trim :lol:

[westopher]

I'd buy a set of the euro GT3 RS seats and the interior problem would be solved very quickly!

^ you can't really compare any of them directly as I do believe some of those are rarer and the prices have gone up to stupid levels. I may be wrong though, it's been a while since I checked the RS production levels.

Either way I'll leave them all to rich goofs who just want them to sit in their garages and I'll stick to cars that actually get used as cars.

At the Langley Porsche dealership opening there was a a circle of rich dudes I was on the periphery of listening in, the conversation went:


"I have 8 Porsches"
"I have 4 but two have less than 500 kilometers on them"
"I'm getting a 918 and a McLaren next week"
"I have 10 classics in a barn in Langley"


It was a giant dick-swinging contest and I bet none of those fat old fucks could drive worth a shit


I hate when Timpo posts GT-Rs in these threads because the GT-R is ugly, your grandma could run a low 11 in one, stock, and they seem to have little actual style. Not a big fan of Porsche but I recognize that Porsche oozes style. People like GT-Rs because they're the default "I have a fast car" car, if that makes sense. Soooooooo mainstream!

Fans of Porsche will want a Posrche
Fans of GT-R's will want a GT-R.

Pretty simple concept...

If you can afford these type of cars, I highly doubt the performance is going to be a huge factor in swaying you one way or the other.
Unless you're a very serious racer who will track the car on a regular basis, and actually learn HOW to drive to push these cars to their limit.

These debates are based on vehicle potential that will never be seen from majority of the buyers.

I was there briefly as well, and the vibe from most of the people there was generally the same. Probably the least I've ever fit in anywhere in my life haha.

Imo you've got it backwards, Porsche effectively haven't changed the looks of the 911 since they first stretched out a Beetle, to me that's "lazy" not "style". Outside the realm of car enthusiasts the general public doesn't know what you're on about if you tell them you have a Nissan GTR, however if you say you have a Porsche 911 or a Chevy Corvette everyone knows those cars (ignoring that there's about 57 different levels of 911 now) because those are the two most purchased by people who care more about everyone else knowing they have a fast car than actually having a fast car. You could swap out the engine for one from a Corolla and half the owners wouldn't know the difference.

Production number wise 911 beat GTR by at least a magnitude.

911 sales more than 15k (aggregated) in US alone.
GTR barely crack 1500..

Pretty much the same for Canada where we get hundreds of 911 and low 30s in GTRs.

This is what I was thinking. GT-R is quite rare compare to Porsche 911.

[punkwax]

BRB posting a GT-R in the porno thread for Timpo to snap a batch.

You're effectively comparing all Skyline sales to all GTR sales, but you're still right. From 2006 to 2012 there were 4,600 GT3 RS worldwide, that's about twice as many per month as the GTR Spec V.

More importantly I found this cool .gif while searching for that information

Not that it has any effect on me whatsoever, but I still wish it came in el manuel.
That said I'd take it over any current supercar.

The PDK thing is killing me on new Porsches :(

[fuzebox]

Wow 10 years later and Timpo is still posting the same bullshit.
