This question has been raised on the GT3 forum by others.
Far more posts and conversation happens on the 991 GT3 forum than on the 991 Turbo forum. Days go by with few new posts to read.
Any one care to speculate why?

If your looking for me I will be on the GT3 forum!

Maybe turbo owners are older and GT3 owners are more enthusiastic?

That's may be part of it.

Coming from a GT3 and spending years in the GT3 forums, the TT group has a different demographic flavour, however it's arrived at.

Well -- I just got my TTS in early Nov (promptly took it on a trip and put 2,500 miles on it) and now it is sitting in the garage covered up waiting for spring. This is my first porsche and I was really excited -- reading this blog every day and all that. But, now, with the car settled in for the winter, I don't need to be reminded of all the fun that is to be had come spring and better weather. I guess this is a time of year when I don't think about cars as much as I do when the driving weather is better (I don't dive at all in the winter - and surely not my brand new TTS).

Don't know about everyone else but that's my excuse.

The 991TT forum on 6speed is busier than on here, and vice versa for the 991 GT3 forums. RL tends to draw a bit more of a hard core driver audience.

The stop sale was a big story.

Car goes fast.

Pretty much says it all. Not much to say after that.

At this post it is 100vs 10

I suspect it is largely due to the car being so well sorted. Therefore, owners are generally out and about using and enjoying the car rather than wanting to discuss how to make it go or handle better as is the case with past models. So, other than discussing the odd issue relating to how to work something, posting a few pics up or sharing the awesome owner experience what else is there? I guess maybe we could start throwing rocks at the 997tt guys but that would be bad form really. Some of them appear to be suffering enough as it is with spun cams and what not. I guess it's all that mezger reliability that keeps discussion flowing over there

And where 991 GT3 is concerned I think as others here have mentioned these fellas are more hard core in general, same with the 997 GT3 lads. Always a track day or different tire compound, wheel alignment setting to talk about...

I think it is an older demographic, not as hard core (describing myself too) - I was never interested in a GT3.....could have bought one, was offered, not interested. It is not what I am looking for. I know my limits are lower than many others and even my TTS on order is way too much car for me. My first track day caused intense nausea and vomitting...LOL. Less emotional purchaser than a GT3 so less emotion and thus posting.... sold my Boxster Spyder for the same reason...wanted more comfort, 4 seats for the kids and less emotion ....

Lots of interesting points and theories. I love the GT3 but am getting to old
to enjoy being on my hands and knees at the track checking tire pressure.
I still would like to have a GT3, but only in addition to my March 2015 delivery Turbo.

I have wondered about the OP's question as well.

Speed 21's point about the TT/TTS being well sorted could be one reason, although aside from the engine fix on the 991 GT3, it is also well sorted. Perhaps the GT3 folks are on track a lot more so maintenance is more urgent. The GT3 is a more emotive machine to many, what with the lower stance, spoilers and terrific sound. Not sure if the GT3 set is an older demographic, as I have met more than a few 997 and 991 GT3 owners who are well north of 50 and most of them never put their cars on the track, which is a pity. In fact several say that they only take their cars out on sunny weekend afternoons and own them as collectors. They have been a decent investment even in the short term. I have not visited the GT3 forum much at all and check in here to learn about the TTS and share my experience with it. The visits have been extremely instructive and the members most helpful. I received some potent advice from a couple of GT3 members on the CL question I posted on the TT forum. Maybe the GT3 owners are more hands-on with their cars than TT owners so have more details to share.
