Default Trading 992t for 991 gt3?
Strongly considering getting rid of 992t for 991.1 gt3. Would like to hear from owners of 991 gt3 and thoughts?

thanks

Hard to help you if you don't communicate what you're lacking and what you're hoping for.

Get the GT3 then. The T needs upgrades to be suitable for hard track use; bigger brakes and more cooling. The GT3 is all around more suited to track use from brakes to suspension to engine to cooling.

Not an owner but have driven a few. Very uncomfortable for any type of daily driving around town. Make sure you drive before and test for your use case.

There is something to be said for regression. I know of a number of folks that returned to the 991 after owning a 992.

A Carrera T to a GT3 isn't exactly a "regression."

I considered going from my 992 C2S to a 991 GT3, but I ultimately passed. There are things I love about the 992 that I just can’t give up.

I like the wide body design, rear taillight design and the upgraded tech/dash layout of the 992. Sure, the 991 GT3 offers the GT experience, but I felt like I would’ve regretted making the move. I would’ve felt like I was settling because what I really want is a 992 GT3.

Might be best to get feedback in the 991 GT3 forum.

I've posted on this before but I went from a 992 C2S and then a 992 TTS to a 991 GT3 Touring. It is a significantly better car.
