You buy a 911 for the sport part of the car...if you want a comfy daily driver Porsche they have that in the Panamera or Cayenne. Same price 50th 911 Carrera or GT3.....GT3 all they way!

I would get the 50th Anniversary. Why ? Because this time they do it right. The interior is nice, dials are oldies green and the rear body with steel/aluminium grill looks stunning.

The only thing is both GT3 and 50th are based on the wider body (medium *** -- compare to turbo).
We know that 50th is produced 1963 units, whereas GT3 at least double or triple the production number.

Although you get more in GT3 but it's about exclusivity. (1963 units is somewhat semi exclusive).
Don't forget they have to divide the production into Left Hand Drive and RHD.

Although the GT3 is "the car" now but wait until GT3-RS is launch.

NoPasaran -- I agree with you.. Take the sport classic. Not only looks nice but everything is almost perfect (except the price). Unfortunately there is only 1 available in US and I think she belongs to a collector.

Almost forgot.. If you decide to take the 50th, opt for the manual transmission. It will be something that you can't get from the GT3 and population will be quite low (most people choose PDK for comfort).
It will make the resale value higher compare to the 50th with PDK (My assumption which I can be wrong).

the 991 GT3 has screaming engine and sport PDK that you can do donuts in parking lots.

i buy lip in bulk.
i do have front lift, but it breaks often. do a search and you will see.
Have you had problems with the front lift? When you use it does it prevent scrapping or front end bottoming out? My concerns are if I do get the front lift will I still be scrapping the front lip and to what extent is the lifter reliable?
