Damn thats pretty awesome…to have a garage reserved only for GT3’s. The 997 has aged well and still has the best steering feel of any road car i’ve experienced 👊🏻 Will a 992 and / or 996 GT3 be joining them?

Thank you! I thought it was special enough that I had better not hesitate. I looked at the car, slept on the decision overnight and pulled the trigger.

Default Feel ya!

Right there with you, buddy, 997.2RS and 991. Love them both the way I love both my kids, equal but nuanced differences; spend time with one,, you love it, but you start to miss the other, lol.

Right there with you brother! Gone but not forgotten, Rosso Corsa 991.2 GT3 manual. The Spyder is quite special along the 7.2RS so I do not miss the 1.2 GT3 much any more.

I'll take the 991 all day. I can't do narrow bodies any more.

I’ve only had two drives so far. First impressions - really nice engine and transmission combination. Less demanding to drive than the older car, with all control weights significantly lighter. Took the engine to redline a few times. This car has a Sharkwerks center bypass and sounds fantastic at the top of the rev range. Looking forward to a proper drive this weekend.

Pretty sure that's my past pure Green GT3 - congrats - great color!!!

Saw that gorgeous Pure Green GT3 when it hit autotrader. Checked out the previous BAT result on that car as well. Gorgeous spec and truly unique. Love the leather frunk etc. P1 seat inserts are spot on! Enjoy her! Gorgeous car!

Agree, great combo. Congrats on the new car.
