Default What's Next?

My friend asked me a very difficult question the other day. So what's the next car after the 991 GT3? I have always wanted a Ferrari because Ferrari, but coming from the GT3 I don't know what more I could want. I am not or ever will be wealthy enough to afford a super/hyper car so really, what does that leave me with. The main problem is that the GT3 provides so much for so little in price that this next jump is going to be difficult.

What is your next car? And please don't say GT3RS.

I went from 2012 991 C2S (sold) to 2014 458 Italia, then added 2015 991 Gt3.

I am set for now.

My GT3 is a keeper. I won't be needing anything else. I've instructed my wife to bury me in it.

The next generation GT3. Even if you had the money to buy a half million plus car, that doesn't guarantee that the car will be any more fun than a GT3.

Had a 2008 GT3. had to go for family considerations. Bought a 2007 599 GTB a year ago because I
"always wanted a ferrari". While I think the car was great, I am very happy to be back in a 2015 GT3 that I traded the ferrari for this weekend.

Since you said no GT3 RS, GT2 RS is next after it for me...

Sound will be fixed by then, turbo lag will continue to decrease and it'll be a beast. Already have my #1 slot for it locked up...

Depending on what you are looking for not sure if the Ferrari is the way to go. I have had both the F430 and the 458 Italia. I am VERY pleased with my 991 GT3 on how well it stays planted on the road and I can take it most places without the same concerns as with a Ferrari. If Porsche can squeeze another 100 HP then it would be the perfect car. You may want to consider the Huracan. My driving experience at the factory track days have been very good. Have only minor understeer,

If Mclaren had a dealership near me I would have gone this route but still don't know about track reliability so no go for me. Looked at the M4 GTS but just doesn't do it for me. So my RS is my end game until Audi decides to build an Uber Quattro Coupe with 3 pedals and turbo insanity which will never happen as the R8 has a firm grip on halo status

Denver is one of 5 markets to receive new McLaren dealership to support additional volume to come with the 570S model. I'll be interested to test-drive...

Any "next" is a mistake.

The next Porsche GT car. I'm #1 at my dealer for whatever that is after the GT4 and the GT3RS. What could that be, a new GT3, GT4RS or perhaps a GT2?
