I loved the 991 GT3 when it was announced, but never thought I would get one in 2014 or so. I still didn't care for the 991.2 GT3 initially but it really grew on me. I called a local dealer about getting a 992 GT3, but despite buying a CPO Macan Turbo from them, it wasn't enough to
even consider me a buyer I guess. Also was advised to buy a used GT3 from them to help my chances. They never have GT3s in, so I went online literally the next day and bought what met my minimum desired features. I've daily'd a 987.1 CS for few years and now the Macan Turbo.
Traded in a 996 turbo x50 for it. After driving it the first, the next meeting I had at work I was speaking manic from the adrenaline high.



When I first saw the GT3 in 2017, I thought the rear hood scoops should be painted. Now that I see it, it looks off, but I like it. Other lower plastic bits are body painted, too.


Sorry for the BIG pics.

Awesome car! I am thinking of the body color match too but since I drive it all the time I probably won't but I think it looks awesome!
