Default Gt3 vs TTS

Considering trading my GT3 on a 16 TTS- I know TTS is a more comfortable car but resale is horrible.
Any one gone this way.

You already know the deal. TTS is slightly more comfortable than a GT3, but not such a huge difference with the 991 generation. TTS is all wheel drive so better in snow and ice, but GT3 is fine in the wet. TTS somewhat quieter and of course TTS resale is horrible compared to GT3.

I don't understand why you would trade a GT3 in on a TT unless you regularly have to drive the alps or rocky mountains in snow-covered conditions 5 months out of the year, with passengers in the rear seats all the time.

trading a 997GT3 on a 991TTS is like selling to classic hot rod for a daily driver cadillac.

Except in this case the Cadillac is blazingly fast. Much faster than the hot rod.

Anyone who asks the question is always better off with the faster TT and should leave the GT3 for those who are not interested in a TT.

TT is a fantastic car, the GT3 is and shouldn't be for everyone.

Agree with trakcar above.
I have a TTS and it is a superb DD. My GT4 and previous GT3 are/were more fun to drive.

You aren't required to wear Piloti's or have a surfboard strapped to the roof to drive a TTS

Done that in reverse tts for RS (picking up on Monday )!! My personal view is if you don't track or will never track tts is perfect and super quick ...for me the track bug got too much for the tts ...great for 3-4 laps then everything cooked ... Really don't get why anybody gets a 3/RS if they never want to track it ...save allocation for those who do ..

If you are asking then you should switch. The gt3 is not for everyone. TT is a much better DD but lacks the emotion the gt3 has.

I find it amusing that people come to the 991 GT3 forum to ask a question about '07 GT3 to TTS. Clearly this group is seen as all-knowing on Rennlist. (Because we are).

I'd stick with the GT3, myself. (SURPRISE!)

I just traded my gt3, which I loved for 2016 turbo. I literally just drove home from the dealer, so I can't exactly give a thorough comparison but easily what I can tell Right off the bat, I'm shocked how much faster/harder the feel of its acceleration is compared to my gt3. I honestly wasn't expecting such a difference. No way is the steering or throttle response as direct as the gt3. Sound, that's obvious.

Personally I knew I would have another gt3 but wanted to experience something different which the turbo certainly is. I also wanted to have my kids in the back with me. Lastly turbo is obviously a better dd but I loved the gt3 as a dd as well. Gt3 is the better track car but I'll likely be faster in the turbo. Looking forward to hitting the track with the turbo to see how it compares.

Basicly, they have very different charectors, depends what mood your in. One is not better than the other, just different

Guess I need to update my avatar, not sure I'm ready

I was offered very good $ for my 15 991 GT3 by a P dealer without a trade so I began thinking about something else or nothing and put the $$$ in investments- - I have had 23 911s since 1982 including an 04 and 07 GT3- I think Porsche has lexusfied many of the current 911s- maybe because the age of the buyer has changed - the GT3 represents what a performance car should feel and drive- THAT IS WHY I HAVE ONE- I will not track it either.
So it is that PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
