Back to the original question, I think the only downside to PTS is the extra wait to get the car.

I thought I would revive this thread because I am in kind of the same boat as the OP. I'm trying to figure out which car to get rid of to make room for a .2 GT3...

'98 993 S: 2nd owner, 90,xxx miles, last of the air cooled, etc

'15 981 GTS: Spec'd it the way I wanted it, 3,000 miles, last of the 6-cylinder NA mid-engine cars

'11 997 GT3 RS 4.0: enough said

OP and others, please advise.

clearly NOT EVER the 4.0L GT3RS!!!! - C L E A R L Y N E V E R O K?

as to which of the other 2, your pick, I'd probably sell the C2S, a great car (and my 1st 911) but I'd probably keep the GTS, I doubt the C2S is THAT
special that it will appreciate significantly (nor will the GTS ... but its newer
and thus more reliable, and you specc'ed it yourself)

Yeah, I think the 4.0 is a keeper, but thanks for the offers to take it off my hands. I'm curious what they are bringing these days. The last I heard was north of $450k.

The 993 is a neat car, and it continues to appreciate. The GTS is a nice car to drive and beautiful to look at. I have paralysis by analysis.

Sell the 981 and get a GT4 at a later stage?

I didn't mean to hijack the thread.

OP, what did you decide to do?

OP and others, please advise.

Keep: GT3 RS 4.0 (no brainer); 993S
Sell: 981 GTS


I actually have a similar "dilemma": 996 GT3 (MK1; original Clubsport); 993 targa; Boxster Spyder 987. Whenever I take one of them for a ride, I swear I going to keep it...! This week, I again test them back-to-back.


Cheers,
Tobias
