Have you driven it at COTA? I scare myself a little every lap.

Sell it.

Buy something else you enjoy. Or enjoy more.

Not everyone drinks the Porsche Kool-Aid. And even those that do, not everyone thinks it goes down smoothly.

Sell it. Get something else. Then go enjoy yourself.

Good luck.

i don't like big cars
the less weight , the more fun , "feel" , handling

i'm really really confused
the GT3 it's my dream cars for years.
but i don't really enjoy it , it's not a daily cars
i drive it maybe once a month
i can't find nice road in Houston to really feel the car
the limit are so high , endless grip

if i can guess , i will enjoy Ariel Atom , Noble M400 , maybe an old 911
i like cars that scaring me , and i need to learn it slowly and find the limits
i want to feel the thrill.
with the GT3 , there is no really limits on public road.

that's funny , but i really enjoy Karting
with 125cc engine
everything very direct , you feel everything , direct steering

Nothing can ruin a dream quicker than reality. Sell. Move on.

There really is nowhere to drive a sports car in Houston. I went through the same malaise with my 370Z that I sold in January. Now I'm looking at Porsches. Go figure.

Before you sell you car, take a drive to Austin and the Hill Country. Amazing roads all over. Get in touch with the Porsche Club there; they'll take you to some nice places.

If you still want to sell your car, you will have no problem selling it. I'll be looking very seriously in about a month.

If you think the GT3 is not exciting and is not powerful enough , then you definitely need to find another car ASAP ...
after driving an array of powerful V8 and Turbo cars including the Turbo S , C63 , etc.. the GT3 blew my mind with the high revs , sound and power and even in city driving ( not standstill traffic ) it is my prescription for releasing stress on weekends . Nothing quite like it , if you experience it properly

Z06 , i don't know exactly why

AMG GT can be a good choice , i need to try it

i like the Ferrari 458 very much
and Cayman GT4 also , but i'm sure i will want more power
i wish Porsche will make cars with V8 engine
u appear very confused.
if you dont like GT3, you will hate RS. b/c RS is just a more $ GT3 i speak from experience.

AMG GT is not the same genre as GT3/RS

Z06 is good car but not GT3/RS.

if you want power, porsche is a dog. they are way low in power for $. try ZR1. great car and even overheats to keep your warm.

458 is really nice car and a worthy adversary to the GT3/RS. you might try this. they do have more hp than GT3/RS. i like much

ok you are more confused than i thought.
aerial has no power, faswt but no power. twitchy but fun.
noble. if u are not a mechanic, move on. thank me later.
old 911, they have zero power. you said u want power.
if you want to learn limit why do you say GT3/RS not enough power? maybe i missed something?
karting, feeling everything isn't that excting. you can simply change your shocks on GT3 run 1000/1200 springs, and monoball everything, you will feel everything.

Sorry, but the OP has no idea what he wants in a car and has started multiple threads on rennlist and probably other forums so that others can do his thinking for him. I wouldn't waste too much time posting on this thread.
If someone doesn't know what they like in life, no one else can answer that for them.

Go drive an F-Type Jag, preferably an R model. Very different car but very entertaining on the street: big HP, front engine, rear wheel drive and one of the best shapes on the road today.

fully agree..

550 hp - rear drive...tons of torque.

If I fit properly in it - it would be mine already
