No, don't do it, your wallet will thank you.

Unless it's a must have and on your bucket list you're chasing your tail and it's a game you'll never win.
You'll be right back here in a year or two asking the same question.

Since i prefer the GTS to the GT3 I would certainly stay with your GTS.

I also went TTS, trading my GT3, when I discovered I would not track much and wanted a more versatile car than the GT3. I also wanted a car I could drive on a daily basis...smoother drivability, higher low end torque, etc..

Test drive a CPO Turbo or Turbo S 2017 onward, realizing that it will depreciate more than GT3.......which as you know holds value well for at least a few years.....lots of the value question on GT3s depend on 992 GT3 - whether still offering manual, naturally aspired engine, etc...if an NA engine, 991.1 and 991.2 GT3s will start to depreciate albeit at a lesser rate than non-GT cars.

ADMs have inflated the resale of GT3 cars, which is good for original or early buyer value...

Carrera T was pretty limited production and may hold well on value and be a blast to drive and less costly.....you may want to check it out...

All this said, your GTS is a great car and might be one to keep for a few more years plus and then make a move after all the GT3 stuff comes to fruition and the 992 is launched.............

Low rpm torque is great for sure. For me, I like to use lots of rpm anyway, so I don’t think the torque peak at 6K rpm would be too much of an issue for me. I might be wrong though as I don’t have my GT3 or GT3 RS yet.
