Totally agree!!! I really believe the GT3 buyers are a different breed than those who buy the C2S/GTS.

saw a video review of the C4 GTS by Autocar. GTS is created to fill the void between the 991 S & the GT3. If you start loading up the GTS with options which most ppl do. You start to encroach into the GT3's price region. End of the day IMHO give me a GT3 anytime any day over the GTS. Cheers mate!

After driving the PDK-S and if I had a choice of the manual the choice would be the PDK. It's an unbelievable piece of machinery.
Enjoyed my C2S but not even close to the GT3 with looks and fun factor. GTS IMO is a beefed up C2S, and would rather have 50th anniversary for the long term value/
Looks.

Having had the 50 year which is essentially a GTS and moving into the GT3 I can say the differences are significant. The Gt3 is much more of a hot rod and a bit less of a DD OR GT car. You can also configure your GTS wIth tons(no pun) options, roofs, stereos, wheels, etc which is very nice, and when I first got the 50 I told myself I'd order a GTS when they came out and configure the perfect GT car. Well, I'm over that now because I'm addicted to the all powerful wild side of the GT3. My 50 year car was split personality which woke up above 5k, and had all the comforts of home, but my GT3 is angry and scary fast. Never driven a CGT or a 918 but IMO my gt3 is the best sports car and Porsche I've ever driven and I now find everything else anticlimactic. You have to drive PDKS to understand how radically different it is and I know a bunch of you guys have. For me the Speciale is the only other car I'd like to have at this time, but if I could only have one I'd take the GT3.

This is my point.
now with that being said...
Compare the GT3 and price point to any other car avail.
Yes, the corvette is a car that has value for the money, but it is not as capable all round.
PS I was considering a new Zo6... the wife said "you will have to get a gold chain and a toupee, and I wont ride in it"......so see what I mean "not capable all round"

Love the new GTS - optioned one out and was $10K over a GT3 - WTF!
I have a new 991S and the lease is up next May - so I need another daily. After trading in the M5 on the 991 - I thought that I would go back to a sedan. However after driving the new 991 as a daily - I am going to stay in the 911 family. So a GT3 for me is perfect for a daily. Just buy it and keep it.
I bought a 08 GT3 RS from Jon, who posted above, and is a great car. So, a GT3 really speaks to me.

Since the '13,'14 Cayenne GTS's are the last of the NA V-8's, I am keeping mine for a long time.

I would know, I drove both a 13 GT500 and ZR1 in all types of weather.
+1. The OP didn't make much sense. You have to option the hell out of a C2S to get it to the base price of a GT3. My GTS build is 131k with pretty much everything a 135k C2S has and more with the exception of deviated stitching and colored gauges.

The true price of a GT3 is around 140-155k.

You can option any 911 to the moon.
