Almost as good as GT3 with GT3 engine

Maybe with multi-link rear suspension and a less staggered wheel set-up I'd adjust my opinion that GT4 has too much fun-killing terminal understeer on the track.

That being said, over the years, my threshold for cars i feel bad about driving keeps moving: unless it is a super-low-mile-time-capsule LE car, I'm gonna want to use it as much as I can (and i just won't buy the time capsule car that I'm scared to use).

My advice is to maintain and take good care of the 7.2, but drive the wheels off of it. It's a robust car. The guy that racks up 10/20/30kmi on a 7.2rs is the one that wins. Add a second car that gives you diversity. Add a modern pdk. 7.2rs and some kind of 991 GT with pdk is an awesome and diverse combo to have.

I agree with Moody! Different cars for different drives. 991 RS with PDK is PERFECT for Long Island Expressway or the 405. 997.2 RS (or 4 Liter) is great for 74 in Rancho Mirage or 198 from King City to Coalinga.

Go new - 991.2 GT3 RS and a 718 Spyder with manual transmission. This is definitely win - win 😀

I agree to a point. I have the 991.2 GT3RS and I'm getting a 718 Spyder. But I'm also keeping my 997.2 3RS. You also need an older air cooled as well (993 turbo for me). So mandatory 4 car minimum.

I would go with a PDK 991 GT for variety.

I went the reverse since I have 991 RS

987 Spyder with mt.





Quick Reply: 997.2 GT3 RS + 981 GT4 or 991.2 GT3 RS
