The same configuration for my car 250k+ sticker would be a 260k+ sticker on 2023, with no performance or options advantages.

Now the question becomes, sell my 2022 TS at 'market' prices, and pick order a 2023 GT3 at msrp (at a much lower msrp), and have SOME protection against depreciation, vs whats going on with the TS's right now. My sales guy told me they arent selling at auction right now, because they are priced too high (for what people had to pay for them originally with mark up), and now they are 'no sale' because they arent meeting reserves. The market is changing, and while this isnt a 'bet on the used car market pricing' discussion, this is a rare chance where I can insulate myself a bit from my 'car craze stupidity' because I do buy new cars every 6 to 12 months, might as well check out a GT3, even though my gutt tells me, it wont be as good as the TS on the street, but if I do a 'stripper build' I will be more than happy to take it to track with very little care in the world.

I even considered, doing a coupe TS with 'light weight' package, but then felt if I was going that route why not just do the GT3. (Yes I saw the carwow video where TS beat the GT3 on track)

The problem is, god forbid an accident occurs, I worry about the safety of me and my children occupants. If it was JUST me, Cab all day long. With my kids (and they love it) the cab just feels more risky as the things i love the most in this world are ‘exposed’ if something happened. So thats the ONLY reason I would do coupe, but then I know I will regret not having the Cab come spring, summer, fall. So then, if I am doing a coupe, why not just get the GT3 and then have a track car AND a safe (1 kid transport), and use family SUV for times I need 2+ seating.

I’m leaning towards selling Turbo S for GT3 or just passing on the allocation and keeping my Cab. Getting a 2023 Cab over my 2022 that i wouldn’t change anything on, makes zero sense now.

still deciding..

That’s a no brainer for me and if you feel the need to get back into a TTS, put your name in the hat and sell the GT3 when the time comes. It’s nice to have these options as our dealer had me waiting for a turbo allocation and then said it may not happen till 2024 so I gave up!

I will absolutely miss the power and drop top ability of the car if I sell it in favor of a GT3. I dont think I am going to bother trying to recreate the car any better than I already did. So either I do the GT3 or I just keep my Turbo S. My Sales Manager was on vacation for the Holidays so I am not going to have the conversation until after new years. Even the GT3 doesn’t speak to me, as I had originally hoped for a GT3 RS, which isn’t likely at this point unless they get a second round of allocations for those.

GT3RS is nearly out of reach maybe few rounds down the road it will be available and hoping more cars and made. I still think if you are a speed guy (well you got the turbo) the car to get will be the 992 GT2RS. With all the aero and pure speed it will be epic.
