TRUE STATEMENT !!!!!!

IMO, no modern sports car from ANY MFG. should be using struts in the rear. Multi-link should be the minimum requirement for any car in today's world. In fact, I don't think there are any other modern sports car that currently use rear struts.

Would you say these qualities of your 991.2 3RS are comparable to the 992 GT3? Or is the 992 GT3 closer in overall character to the 991.2 GT3?

The 4C has double wishbone up front and struts in the rear??? If true, wow, that is a total mismatch. I can't imagine that both ends of the car play well together.

I GUESS SO...

That’s right, but it’s out of production now, so maybe you were right…

IMO, the 3RS and 4RS are similar in terms of rawness, and the 3RS and GT3 are similar in terms of having a 911 feel, though the GT3 has a somewhat unique feel because of the magic front end.

GT3RS > GT3 > GT4RS > GT4

But you really can’t make a bad decision here.

All good choices

Caymans feel much more intimate to me with the firewall right behind you + now airbox.

911s feel more airy inside with the rear seat (deleted).


Both have plus and minus. I suggest you Atleast sit in both to understand nuance of cabin feel. Some people hate the “cramped” cayman cabins.

there are 1000 other opinions already listed but wanted to say that one.

So...in essence via msrp then. Ha

When you include multiple generations, it's not as simple.

You get what you pay for, so an msrp ordering is not surprising.

I like these comparisons,

which car is better, even though prices are all over the place... I always see comparisons between GT3 / GT4 etc... GT3 should be "better" at +60% more of the MSRP.

absolute right on
and that MAY be why some like 4RS it's a bit "twitchy" and dances more.
I like 4RS but LOVE GT3

You should probably post this in 5 more threads so that we all know for SURE that you got one allocation of each
