My life is ruined - thanks to a GT3
My life is ruined
I'm the owner of a 2002 996 C4S
Modified with intake, exhaust, suspension etc
It's a great car, I love it, it serves me well as my DD, brings a smile to my face every time I open the garage to get in it and every time I drive it
Unfortunately I made the mistake of driving a 2015 991 GT3 last weekend for an extended drive through some beautiful twisty undulating mountain roads
I got to really open her up
What a car
What an experience
My face still hurts from smiling and giggling
Now, I am suffering withdrawal
I need to satisfy that fix - of the sublime chassis, great steering, sonorous sound that is the GT3, that 9000 rpm redline, PDK....
What to do
Do I really need two kidneys, does the family really need a roof over their heads, do we really need to eat every day
I need to figure out how to get one in my garage
Help!!!!

I have driven a 458, 650s, and Huracan, but have specifically never driven anything beyond the price level of those models.
I still plan to acquire a 458 spider in a couple years, but buying anything that costs more than a 458 would adversely affect my long-term financial planning.

Last year was told by my dealer that I wouldn't be able to get a GT3 because the wait list was too long, I was prepared to get a GTS the end of this year, went to PCNA HQ in Atlanta and decide to do the hour and a half drive in the GT3, couldn't stop thinking about it just like you, emailed over 20 dealers, and got an allocation, now waiting impatiently until the end of December

My $0.02...
Start looking and wait to trade-up to a pre-owned one until the right car shows-up at the right price for you. Then jump in and start the process of upgrading the car every time a new edition one comes around. The resale value is very good if you get out quickly, just as you get an allocation for the next gen.
This way, the cost of ownership is actually negligible.
Of course, that presumes the new car is slightly better than the one you're in. If it turns out the other way around, or if some desirable features are dropped, your resale price could actually exceed what you paid.
Once you're in, you're in... Just keep rolling, just keep smiling!

I second/third that. I had a chance to drive an Aventador at a Dealer last year and I refused. I just did not want my head spinning. Mentally I can convince myself how to financially justify even though my Wife would kill me. Happy with the GT3. I do not like too much attention although it gets a lot here. I find people in Chicago very respectful but true car enthusiasts

Driving the aventador would not have been a problem Jimmy. A ludicrously beautiful fat pig.
To the OP - just wait until you track the car! Then the lust will truly set in. Depreciation is so low, make it happen! You know you deserve it
