Hi to all,
I’m 911-991 GTS TARGA owner, as new, with only 10,000 km (Europe car).

I’m thinking about to change it with a new 992 GT3, paying the right difference.
I’m a N/A enthusiast and collector but I have no space for both of them, so if a want to buy a new car I need to sell one.

What do you think about this change?
thanks in advance
Ennio

 

All depends on what you want and the intended use. Personally I love the 991 series more than the 992. Have you considered 991 GT3?

 

As XLR says, use case is important. But his suggestion of a 991.2 GT3 is a very good one. I just got one earlier in the year and saved $100k over the 992 and still get the 500HP NA 9,000 RPM screamer of an engine. I also prefer the looks of the 991 gen so that was a deciding factor for me as well. I mean, you cant go wrong with either but the 991 just spoke to me more. Good luck with your decision!!

 

Many of the 992 GT3 owners I know seem to prefer the 991.2 GT3. Personal preference of course but I found it an interesting trend.

I vote stick with the Targa or go 991 GT3.

How do you use the car?

 

very different cars. The targa is more of a sports GT and the GT3 is a stiff track car you can use on the road. Do you road trip your car? or only drive it a few km every weekend? If you wanna drive your car everyday the targa is prob a better car, I know I would have a hard time driving a gt3 everyday, especially with the crappy roads we have here. And if you do go GT3, my vote would also be for a 991.2 normal or touring.

 

Im curious what they like better about the 991.2? By most accounts the 992 has a much better front end and it’s noticeable. It is a little bigger, and I have heard the buckets are not quite as comfortable.

For the OP I don’t find my .2 to be an overly harsh ride and I think the GT3 will hold value slightly better. But both are amazing cars.

 

Bucket comfort and ride quality. Quality might not be the right word, since it is a GT car, you know what you’re getting into on the road. But their impressions were that .2 was a bit more at home on the street vs the 992. Also a more general gripe about 992 cockpit - the screen is higher and further away from the driver so it’s more difficult to interact when needed.

 

It's the best modern 911 platform! 911's are getting to large....

 

Thanks to everybody for your comments.

I would only specify that my 991 is 3.8 N/A and I drive it once time for month.

My question was only about if is more ICONIC a 3.8 Targa GTS or a 992 GT3.

Thanks

attached my GTS targa

 

If you track at all go gt3. If you don't, targa times 1 million..

 

IMHO a GT3 in most cases will hold it’s value
over a GTS, Targa, or GTS Targa.

 

they made way more gt3's than targas. A targa gts manual is the unicorn..

 

I doesn’t matter it’s less desirable.
