Default 992.2 T or 991.2 GT3 (both manual)

Hi folks, I had a pdk 718 GT4, recently sold it.

Currently waiting for a 4RS allocation, if I don’t get one, I want a manual alternative.

Should I get a 992.2 T or a low mileage 991.2 GT3. (I prefer 991 gt3 over 992, sorry)

GT3 for me all day.

I guess some would say if you’re daily driving then the 992T is the better move but the motor in the GT3 is out of this world. I’ve driven 991.2 GT3, 992 GT3 and 992 Carrera 4S. I own a 997 GT3, so I guess I’m biased in that I own a GT3, but not in terms of the generation.

997 GT3 is a fantastic car, nice choice!

the only problem is that low mileage 991.2 GT3 is a bit hard to find in Canada

I'd say it's worth the wait. If it's a couple months, especially over winter, I wouldn't consider that too bad.

If you're coming from a GT4 and waiting on a 4RS - a Carrera T will not scratch that itch.

I previously owned a GT4 and now a 991.2 GT3T. GT3 is better. GT4 felt a little gutless sometimes - 991.2 GT3 has way more torque. The GT3 engine is a true motorsport derived engine as opposed the GT4 - it's a much more exciting motor to drive, IMO.

3.0 FI in the Carreras are excellent, very well engineered and usable but they are not designed to give you that edgy, zippy NA thing that the GT cars do.

I think it all depends on how you plan on using the car. The T for regular street driving or the GT3 for track or mostly canyon carving.
