Default Saw the light?

I've always been a "latest and greatest" guy, losing interest in the current model as soon as the next one was announced, or even speculated. When the 991 GT3 was announced, I ordered one right away and carefully followed all the pro and con arguments between the early adopters and the retro group - 996/997, Mezger, manual, hydraulic steering, etc., etc. I only owned the 991 GT3 very briefly (you can read that story back in the archives), but it did seem to be an awesome car. I also owned a 991 C2S that I really enjoyed. Anyway, I had never driven an earlier version of the GT3 until a couple of days ago. Long story short, this one is coming home Tuesday. Sorry, the pics aren't great, the dealer texted them to me after the test drive to keep me interested (not necessary). 2007, 34k miles and CPO'd for two years.

I have a 2007 GT3 now and ordered a GT3RS.

Should I keep my 2007 GT3 you think?

Keep it if you can. These cars are so different.

I would keep it. The higher performance versions of every Porsche series seem to do well in the used/vintage/collector markets.

I'm sitting here frequenting this forum as I pursue a 991 GT3 for myself (car pictured is my wife's...). Take that FWIW, Cobalt, but I say keep the '07 and still get the GT3 RS!

Nice. Arctic Silver might not have been my first choice, but it's growing on me. I think I see yellow seat belts on your wife's car. If so, then they're identical twins.
