GT3 Rental
I am curious if there is any place that you guys are aware of that rents a GT3? According to a brief internet search I only found a GT3-RS in Las Vegas. I live in Wi and was hoping for something a little closer. I have tried to test drive a couple of 991 GT3’s and the dealers will not typically let me. I currently have a 997 TT and would like to spend some time with a GT3 before buying one.

Try a website called Turo:
https://turo.com/search?country=US&d...rtTime=10%3A00
people rent out all sorts of cars here - from econo boxes to high end super cars.
You may have a tough time renting or finding a sports car to rent in winter.
I think your your best bet is try the the Porsche Experience Center in LA or Atlanta this time of year.

How about at Nürburgring?:

Alternatively, you could do Porsche Experience in Los Angeles or Atlanta (sorry, all far from WI)

Have you checked "Turo"? They have high end cars on there in various cities.
Now regarding the dealer not letting you test drive... either you are kicking the tires and not serious about the specific car you are looking at, or you did not approach them correctly.
If you are serious, show them funds (at least for downpayment) and explain that the test drive is all that stands between you and them making a deal

Thanks for all the replies. I was checking out Turo but I cannot find how to search for a specific car. I can randomly search cities but that may take awhile.
I have been to the Porsche experience in Atlanta and did the GT3 vs Turbo course. I found it very abbreviated and busy. It was a blast but I didn’t really get to experience daily driving. The instructor was always talking and there was very little time in each car.
I love my 09’ 997 TT but the newer models are PDK and seem to be more GT biased. I’m generally curious what the GT3 is like to drive around vs my 997. The 991 chassis seems more refined but the GT3 still may have the raw feel like my car....not sure. I would love to drive a GT3 on the track but I’m more interested in Street driving because I have a Z06 that I use for HPDE events. I would only drive the GT3 on the street. Now if Porsche put a back seat option on the GT3 I would sell all the cars and use it for everything....a guy can dream

Are you looking at a new .2 or used .1? Either way, if the dealer has one on the lot, why won't they let you take it out? Heck, mine gave me the keys for an afternoon, and it was raining out. Maybe look for a different dealer....one who wants to actually sell the car, because IMO, these cars sell themselves with a test drive and anything the salesperson says is just filling the air with noise.

Thats a good Idea I never thought of. I would love to swap cars with somebody in the Midwest for a day. I have a nice low mileage 997 TT cabriolet manual if anybody is interested. Feel free to PM.

I also will throw this out there. I would also be willing to take somebody for an airplane ride in exchange. If anybody wants to take a 30 min spin in a jet it might be worth a trade.
