Default Two generations of GT3 in my garage

I picked up a PTS Pure Green 991.2 GT3 manual to keep my 997.2 GT3 company in the garage. As soon as I laid eyes on the green GT3, I knew I had to have it.




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.

Nice stable mates. Would be interested to see what your thoughts are after you’ve had a chance to acclimate to your new car.

Congrats! Curious to hear your impressions as you get more miles on the 991.2. From the one drive and many rides I’ve had in a 991.2, it’s a very special car.

Which wheels are on your 997.2? RE-MTSP? They look great.

Yes, RE-MTSP monoblock wheels. Functional and good looking. I love them!

I have a feeling that black 997 will remain long after the 991 is gone.

Congratulations, true hardcore manual guy. I would’ve chosen pdk if I already had a manual GT3. I’m sure you’re not crying yourself to sleep every night though.

Every time I park next to a 997.2 GT3 I'm definitely a bit smitten, as it absolutely have less aggressive and more elegant front end.
