No test drive.At the time i was looking, everything got sold within a week.I looked in the computer, added my options, then on delivery took a selfie and signed the check. Sounds crazy right!
Well, ive bought used ferraris without driving or seeing them, buying a GT3 is less a risk for me.

No test drive. Multiple prior non GT3 Porsches that I always lowered, added exhaust and never used the back seats. I figured might as well just get a GT3! No turning back now

I never test drove any of my P-cars. I started with an '06 C2S, moved on to a 997.1 TT within a year, then on to my 997.1 GT3RS a year later and am now waiting on my '16 GT3. I've never been disappointed, yet. I hope my luck continues.

As many others here I did not test drive the 991 GT3 prior to buying one. I have owned several other P cars before to great satisfaction. That satisfaction became my "encouragement" to take the plunge without any seat time. No REGRESTS whatsoever.

Race Car
Never owned or even driven a P car beforehand. Was at a bike/car track day (with my bike) and got a ride in 2010 GT3 and thought "what the heck is this?" A month later same thing and got a ride in early 991 GT3 and thought "wtf!!" 6-7 months later I took delivery of my first ever Porsche. To be honest I don't think I'd want or consider another variant of the 911 after driving a GT? Maybe a Targa?
I will say I drove a nice 997 Turbo expecting to make a deal and "upgrade". I was surprised to find I couldn't wait to get back to my 997 Carrera S for many reasons and really not sure I would ever consider a 911 Turbo over a nice n/a Carrera again. You won't really know until you drive them all I guess.

I never test drive anything. I read reviews and talk to knowledgeable people. Plus I know what I want. I've never regretted it.
Whether you go for the 3 or the RS, it's pretty hard to go wrong if that's the sort of car you're looking for.

I can't believe there's one person out there, that had never taken a GT3 or RS for a test ride first before ordering and didn't like it, then sold it.
