The 675LT is a far superior street car relative to the GT3RS. I don’t think there exists a better driving experience than a 675LT spider in a nice day with the top down. The GT3RS really only makes sense for people that want to drive to the track, track it and drive it home. It is a very compromised, unforgiving and uncomfortable street car. I like the 675LT so much more I never drove my RS so I sold it an got a 720S luxury coupe to complement my 675LT spider. Now I have the stunningly beautiful rocket ship to complement the more raw LT spider. I couldn’t be happier and don’t miss the RS for one second. The 720s gives you the sensation you are taking off in a space ship—everything about it screams exotic, it is such an sense of occasion and is far ahead of its time in design and performance

My 675LT my experience is the best car I’ve driven, and it crazy fun after close to 2 years of ownership and I have no desire to sell it. The 675LT (my) view was ahead of its time, and with only 1k copies I would say it’s the most reliable MAC based on friends experience and what I’ve read/my dealer mechanic! The 675LT motor is a upgrade off the P1 enough said there. If you like RS raw the 675LT shakes and rattle due to no insulation with CF floor boards you hear everything so just roll down the windows and turn off the radio. My mind I can always get a GT3, get rid of all the deprecation noise, I care about experience as I can only live once so that stuff is a waste of time talking about. That’s my POV, 2021 will be the first time I’ve not bought a car in 10 years as I like my Speedster that much and my 675LT!

Congrats!
Not sure if you've had a chance to take it to track but the relative driving excitement is amplified vs the 991.2 2RS and 3RS. I'm fastest in the 675LT of the 3 - yes the 2RS is quicker in the long straights but the confidence it gives you in turns I more than make up for it at my track.
And when I take out the 675LT and I'm chasing another fast PCA instructor in his 2RS i get held up into braking zones.
The 675LT is a keeper but she's not bullet proof like the 3RS. And would add a 765LT when the timing works and would not trade it in.

My track day at Road Atlanta was cancelled due to torrential rain last Wed. I have another coming up on 4/15 when I plan to take it out. Really looking forward to seeing how it stacks up vs current/previous track cars I’ve had.

I was t-h-i-s close to getting a 675LT. It was Jenson Button's car too, and came with a bunch of Button swag (like a signed race suit).
But on the day I was going to close the deal, the door wouldn't open. Nothing we (dealer or myself, or anyone else at the dealership) could do would get the damn thing to swivel up.
Needless to say, I passed.
Maybe it was a mistake, but I couldn't deal with something like that, or even the spectre of something like that.

675LT every day of the week over the 992 GT3 (or any GT3) - more raw, more engagement, more of an event, more presence - the GT3 is basically a main stream production car these days. Would also take a 600LT over any GT3 and for the same reasons as the 675LT. Either that, or wait for the 992 RS - they tend to dial out the anaemia of the GT3 and fix the problem areas. Having said that the Touring will make a great daily driver (which in a way highlights where the GT3 has really evolved too e.g. NA GTS).

made the decision a couple of weeks ago and picked up a 675LT, hands down the best car I have owned. Nice complement to my RS, but if one had to go, it wouldn't be the 675LT for all the reason stated in these recent posts.

I have a friend who picked up a ridiculously optioned Volcano Yellow 675LT Spider last fall and he is looking to sell it (He may have already, not sure). If anyone is interested let me know and I will find out if it's still available. It had less than 500 miles on it when he bought it and I doubt he put more than 100-200 miles on it since. I was very tempted, but I already have a 600LT that I absolutely love, and I'm not crazy about yellow cars.
Between my GT3RS and the 600LT I would say they are close. The 600LT is definitely faster in a straight line, but it is also tuned. It's an absolute rocket and I love the cracks and fireballs it throws out the exhaust. It's bright enough that I can see it out the rear view mirror even on a sunny day.
That being said, I think the GT3RS engine note sounds better and there is just something about Porsche that is so good. It's really a tossup between the two cars for me. Both are just absolutely fantastic and I have no desire to sell either.

Curious as to why he's selling. After only 200 miles?

He bought it at the start of winter, so barely had time to drive it before the snow started to fly. I think over the winter he had second thoughts and didn't want the money tied up in that car (He has quite a few other cars) and would rather put it into something else. He has a vacation home on a lake that I think he and his wife would rather put the money into.

This one? ^^^
I'm a big fan of those wheels for the Spider....
$516k MSRP is no joke.

This is when he brought it by my place just after he bought it last year:
