micknine01 Posted 11December, 2023 Report Share Posted 11December, 2023 I wonder how @Cam Arnott is getting on with his red MK1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Arnott Posted 11December, 2023 Report Share Posted 11December, 2023 Slowly! Currently in primer and being blocked for paint. Having been back to bare metal it all looks to be original which is re-assuring! I'm curious if anyone else on here has a Mk1 in Guards red......? And yes I have to agree how good they look in GR. Dare i say, nicer than the usual boring black, grey, blue or silver! Shedpest, micknine01, JWM and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plan not to track a 996 GT3 and just have it as a weekend street car, is it worth it? It is money better spent on something aircooled, or say a 996 4S etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With prices being the way they are, and as a road only car, my vote would be no... 997.1 Carrera's can be had for very decent money now and are an absolute joy to drive for about half the $$$ add the PCCM+ and you can literally daily it with all the mod-cons you can ever want, and you will still find joy using it as a weekend car.

Agree with Kurt. It got to the stage where the boss basically refused to ride in my .1 GT3 due to suspension harshness and bucket seats. Now some may see that as a plus, but not in this case 🙂. Replaced it with an 01 .1 C2 which is much more comfortable to drive and ride in for normal road going, but no where near as much power or fun..... Great to have been there and done that though....... 911, Yeatesy and Joz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter John Posted 13December, 2023 Report Share Posted 13December, 2023 Great comment by @edgy the 997 is a great car. What makes a gt3 special? The badge and the mystique of course. To me the 996 feels like an air cooled- it's close in many ways. But light years ahead in many ways also- does everything easier. All depends on your motivation. Mine is mystique and doing things better - donk, box, brakes, suspension, safety, keeping the boss happy isn't high on my list- not even on it tbh as she couldn't care less and i don't go for country drives with her unless with the family in the family car, going to a family destination. Maybe the time will come and i'll get a boxster pdk for us both. Moral of the story- change your cars to suit your chapter. Life is short don't die wondering as plenty do!

A 996 GT3 is worth every cent, they are a very special car. Sure, all Porsches are nice but at an elevated level of driving it’s the GT products that are in a different league. If you don’t want to drive fast don’t bother as you won’t notice. Harsh, 911rox, Shedpest and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 👍 That's basically how I describe 996's...especially the '98/99's are just a bloody well sorted air cooled but quicker...and brakes better...and more comfortable...and...just better 😁 @rminc I haven't driven a GT3, yet have driven a modified 996 with GT3 suspension and a few other little mods, and it was just brilliant...and a lot cheaper than a GT3. As Hugh mentioned, it just depends how serious you wanna get in the hills. Air cooled = Bloody good fun and you get the nostalgic aroma of oil and exhaust fumes included for free👍 GT3 = Fast fun...at a price, yet probably the mutts nuts. 996/997 = Mostly cheaper than both of the above, yet still a lot of fun in the hills...and no complaints about seating comfort 😁😉 Harsh, Shedpest, Peter John and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
