I loved the PDK and would have another and will when I get a 992 . My love affair with the 997 is the size and feedback through the steering and chassis the gearbox would not have made a difference . Not taking anything away from the 911 that car is amazing just finding the 997 a bit more fun to drive for me . I had fun in it yesterday TwoHeadsTas and symsy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to drive the 992 GT3 the size is still large however the feedback lost through the steering and chassis in the 991 generation is supposed to be back on point. Time will tell I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go buy a car in europe and import it if they are that fantastic .. even a RS with those diffrence in prices. 2 hours ago, Scott SS964 said: With respect when comparing - Apples aint Apples Manual and Auto 2 different cars They aint nothing like each other I agree MR All that said I think that one sale DONT define a market and there is a buyer out there .. fuelled up on market hype , Covid f.ch it you only live once attitude and a money is cheap outlook. If you had a few stashed in the garage it would be time to cash out , if you got one , are you ever really gonna sell it if they are that good and you are in love with it.. buy and sell in the same crazy market aint making money. Let me be controversial and say .. you need to consider 997s at that price point. Joz and SS 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a quote post awhile back from a member who owned 993rscs and 996gt3's "on the differences between it and the RSCS I had. That car was a blast, raw, involving - best of breed. And yet, on any measure, subjective and objective, the 99 GT3 is the superior car by a mile. As is every GT P car since. And the best bit, you can get that superior experience for around $500,000 less than the cost of an RS. Yes, 150-200 K is still serious wedge but if you can go there, you're not missing a thing in not having the RS experience. " Yes we are comparing super models with , super models , which my eyes can have ideas and hold promises of what I would do to entertain them, a little like my old school cheques I would offer up against RSCS , 993TTS and RS GT3996 and RS997 RS. Along with a 911 R or a tasty Touring 991 even with the bloat factor. The garage spot was cleared and I will get another GT , just not sure it will be our 280k hero car ... The GT cars that keep me awake at night .. but our Aussie stock is a bit $Xy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I bought it @ 21,000km and sold it @ 33,000km after 3 years ownership. So he's done about 6,000km in less than a year (I miss typed 40 months since sold instead of 10 months in my original reply above). Which equates to well, over $100,000 profit if he gets what he's asking... Not a bad return on investment.🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 12July, 2021 Report Share Posted 12July, 2021 993 was the last version of the old chassis, same roof, cabin size etc. last air cooled car - the pinnacle of the old car. The 996 GT3 is the first of the new generation, balanced chassis, shares crankcase from 964, no computer driving aids, significantly more efficient than the previous model it replaced. Most importantly only driving aid is ABS. Air conditioning that works on a hot day. I have had both, I prefer the 996 GT3 as a good all rounder. They are still cheap, even at what some think are elevated prices. There is still a chance to own one, just do it. micknine01, GTP911, wilson59 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
