I am thinking a PDK GTS Cabriolet would be a good substitute for the T - sneaky way of getting permission to spend even more money on a new Porsche for my little collection.
Why not go full Monty and get a Turbo cabriolet instead of the GTS? Less lag, even more "collectible". Not to mention, faster.
Arrange for a test drive, you will get "approval" in no time. Yolo it

Thanks to everyone for the information and sharing to help me get through the waiting process.

Traded this:


For this:





More different a driving experience than I expected. Went from PDK to Manual, so that wasn’t a surprise (but even more fun than anticipated). However, the early days driving experience feels materially different.

Yes, can do. I have relatives, outside München.
We can try Dorsia, on a Friday maybe. Great sea urchin ceviche!

@tarheeljim
You changed the alloys too?!
They are pretty, but a little more work to clean right? I had them on my Macan.
Also went full body kit I notice

Drove that 996 on track a few times so will have to wait to take the T on track to compare near or at the limit.
That is great to know, I hope you update us when you track it. I know there are differences of course like the fact that the GT3 had the Mesger engine and dry sump, and all is naturally aspirated, but I am still interested in how you think they compare.
I am planning to track my T but I will not have anything to compare it to as it will be my first Porsche.
