Looks great--love those rims!

I'm on the fence on getting one.

My dealer has one in bound, so trying to get as many opinions of actual owners as possible.

Anyone else think the Turbo/Turbo S *looks* better than the GT3?

One more quick question: Will the Turbo/Turbo S getting a power/hp increase for the 991.2 facelift?

GT3 looks are way better than TT/TTS, exspecially front end!

My 458 is my favorite sports car of all time. I have never wanted a Lambo.

I think you should quit being selfish and sell me one of your TA's. I grew up with muscle cars too. Lol.

Have both a 7.2 GT3 RS and a 991 Turbo S...they answer very very different questions....complementary not antagonists...

The Turbo S is sublimely easy to exploit...extraordinarily fast...remarkably composed....grab the keys any weather (especially if running appropriate boots)..and just drive..

The RS is an immersive, visceral, indulgent event...every single time you put it on....but you need to pay attention....or she will bite....regardless..EVO nailed it as the Car of the past decade....one to hand down to the son.

i think the 911 black convertible S (non turbo) is the best looking porsche.

I hate to say this (I own and love my 2015 GT3) but the GT3 looks like someone took a porsche and bastardized it with a bunch of unnecessary oversized front and rear spoilers etc.

You have to be a car guy and know what the car is all about to appreciate the way it looks!

Very subjective, I find it just the opposite. I am a die hard coupe guy (no sunroof, no t-top, no targa top), I just love a fixed roof coupe!

As far as GT3 vs the standard coupe, even the wide body coupe, I prefer the GT3. It might come from years of watching cup cars at the track, but the regular coupe rear deck feels just a little lacking. I am also a big fan of the ducktail, if I had not purchased a GT3 I'd have a GTS with a ducktail.

Very true! I just grew up in a time when kids were tricking out cars, 318i BMWs, for example with spoilers etc and all of it served no purpose. So to me the GT3 with the oversized back spoiler, venting and front lip all looks excessive compared to a car like the 458 speciale!

Again my point is for people who dont understand the GT3 and don't realize that all the stuff on the GT3 actually is functional (I think?)

Great collection and I love that garage! I need to move out of the northeast so I can have an immaculate garage floor. Mine is currently covered in salt,mud, leaves
