Default With gt3 touring should I replace GT4.

I was lucky Enough to get an allocation for a GT3 right now which I can spec touring for delivery early next year. I was thinking is there a point to keep the GT4 since both are similar drivers car and I think the 911 should be better with that high rev engine vs mid engine with front lift for daily.

Any Gt3 owners regret selling their GT4?

Only reason to keep the GT4 would be to make it a total track rat - harness bar/harnesses, aftermarket buckets, etc. That would be fun. . . .

Do not know yet. Waiting for .2 but am trading it because do not have room for 2. Enjoying the GT4 over the .1 but probably due to the Manual. But do think the GT4 is prettier than the GT3/RS and the mid-engine with the intimate cockpit is different enough

I would not trade the GT4 if I had the room. I think having both would be ideal

Agree with this. Otherwise they are too similar, now if you went PDK w the GT3 and could keep the GT4...I'd do that. Or how about trade the GT4 on a .1 3RS when the .2 is announced and the prices drop a bit...

I think a touring would compliment a GT4 as the touring is quite inconspicuous in appearance. The gt4 is not. It could serve a auto x/ track day early morning road carver and the touring a Grand Tourer type of role.

I have a similar set up in my garage, .1 GTS and not a Gt3 touring, but I could find you may come to a similar conclusion.

.2 GT3 is a pretty big upgrade over GT4. If you need to sell the GT4, do it. Would have liked to keep both, but not an option for me.

I'd say sell the GT4, you won't use it and if/when the 718 GT4 is launched it'll take a hit in value while not being driven.

718 GT4 or spyder is a good ideal. I do see a point of not using the current car. Thanks for everyone's input.

Spot on. And many are already doing it given the massive amount of GT4s flooding the market (100+ for sale last time I checked)
