Excellent choice my friend. And a perfect stable mate to the .2 Irish Green. You are seriously going to have trouble choosing which one to drive!

Congratulations (and, to Turbo Jonny). I second Jamie; we need a detailed comparison of GT3 and Spyder as applicable to street driving. Is there a reason why you didn't wait for the 982?

I am waiting for the 982.

Jamie, please correct me if I am wrong but I think that you have had a Spyder or still have one. You may be better equipped to answer the comparison as you also had or still have a 991.1 GT3.

At this point IMO, the cars are entirely different in so many ways but both equally satisfying, also in entirely different ways. To me anyway, they fill an entirely different niche from each other.

Spyder Nation.... I like that.

Have both spyder versions. GT3 was pdk as you know, so hard to compare. Can't wait to hear what you think about the two standard cars.
