If you are not planning on going to the track then 991

The gt3 isn't a car you take your wife to dinner in. It's a car you take to the track or to some mountain twisties.

Thank you...And I can still do that with a Carrera S too, just the GT3 may do it a bit differently. So far I've gathered that 70% have recommended the 991 Carrera S.

I will say that if you do go for a gt3, take it to a DE. It would change your mind about using the gt3 only on the street. But that's a whole another money sink altogether, haha.

you should really drive both before you decide. gt3 will be hard to find and drive unless one is for sale locally or you know someone who will let you get some seat time.

i've owned e46 m3, 07rs, 993's in na and tt. i've driven 997 c2s/turbo and 991 c2s, but for me, the gt3 is the best car of them all, by a LONG stretch. the sound is intoxicating especially with a sharkwerks/gmg/rss bypass. downside is unwanted attention, but mine was orange. a white or black is probably not too bad.

a 991 c2s is very smooth and fast, sounds good in stock form and can be made to sound amazing with some exhaust mods. you don't have to concentrate on driving it, but not the case in the gt3...its raw, loud and freakin awesome. it will bring out the juvenile in you. i've regretted selling the RS every single day. i will be getting back into one when the time is right, and keeping forever!
