Default A big thank you

You guys and this forum are the best. Thanks for all the great input. I went with the cpo 2000 mile GT 3. I will post pics when I get a chance. She's a great build and it's great to be back in a Porsche.

Good choice. The GT3 is no question the better more powerful car.

So if you got to test both,but can only keep one,there's nobody who can provide a better answer than you.

GT3

GT4 feels, and is probably is, underpowered.

Good choice. It's already at the break in point so go make some noise and enjoy!

I would wait and get the 991.2gt3. If you can't wait or maybe don't want to spend that much I would go with a Gt4.

Congrats!
Wise decision and CPO should provide additional piece of mind. Please share pics when possible

+1 - best option. .2 will be better, no one knows what will happen to .1 values.

Smart choice

GT3 is IMHO ,without a doubt, the better car

GT4 is fun but lacking that something special

If I could only keep one (including the 458) it would be the GT3

Both special in their own way. GT3 is clearly the " better " car because of its special engine. For mostly street use the 4 is far easier to drive . The PDK in city or suburb driving is a PIA. In auto non sport it goes to 5th gear at 35 mph. In auto sport way to aggressive around town. Thus manually shifting it is necessary and fun but can become a chore.

GT 4 is pure driving pleasure in all situations and will harass a 3 on track everywhere but corner exit and straight lines.

GT4 that I just picked up is insane and fun all together. What a Porsche feat! Love it in Red!

As an owner of both and also own 2016 Spyder, the GT3 is the better car, and especially on track or Autocross. However I personally prefer driving the GT4 or better yet the Spyder on the street over the GT3, because they feel so great on the road and especially with a Manual transmission. GT4 feels lighter and smaller on the road, and Spyder tops that.

I own 6 porsches, and I go through a vicious mental cycle all the time deciding which one I like best or keep as my only Porsche. After driving GT4 or better yet the Spyder for a while, I tell myself if I have to get rid of all my Porsches and only keep one, it would have to be the Spyder with GT4 being close second. Then I get back into my GT3 and drive it and all of the speculation or doubt disappears. This is an amazing machine and I would never give it up. Something about that GT3 engine & its sophisticated suspension, that is so special. Then cycle repeats again after I get back into the GT4 or the Spyder.

So not sure if I am the right guy to give you advice on this except tell you that both are special machines and you can't go wrong owning any of them but my recommendation is to own both!!! Mark
