Great great cars. But not as every day drivers. I always had an M3 or Cayenne as the daily. One time I had an RS and a CSL for daily.
I have sold the sports cars due to kids and well, growing up a little, and the DCT is the closest driving impression thrill/ enjoyment I have experienced to these sports cars.
Do yourself a favour and test drive one, as for the money there is no better car.
You will spend more money on a GT3, and trust me the novelty wears off in three months, then it's not worth the extra money!!
Save cash get a DCT and do the mods you know are right, like coilovers, akra exhaust and an ESS supercharger  |
You must be crazy, getting old or not driven the 997.2 GT3 (don't take it personal). Please tell me what other near 3000 lbs car, which puts down 405 whp SAE corrected on a dynojet naturally aspirated (completely stock), 1/4 mile in 11.8 and 0-200 KM in 12.2, has a true dry sump motor, and is as precise (driving feel) as a 997.2 GT3, for the money?
It is also much more comfortable in the street that the 997.1 GT3, due to better suspension components ( some from the 997 GT2 also) and the dynamic engine mounts.
Seriously, go test drive one. There is a huge difference between the 997.1 and 997.2 GT3. You'll understand then.
BTW, I sold my 2008 M3 DCT which had the RD Sport 4.6 stroker, dymags, and other stuff to buy my 2010 GT3 and could not be happier. I wouldn't have done it for a 997.1 GT3 though.
