GT3?

I was on the fence with a GT3 and a 4S last week. The GT3 is an awesome car! The dealer had one that was near new with 1,200 miles on it. I drove it for an afternoon and it didn't feel right for me. The price diffrence was not an issue, my heart went with the 993.
When the price drops I may want one for track days; But trade the 993 for a GT3, never.

I thought about buying one last year but, I just can't get past their looks. I'm holding out for the 997. When I can get one with only a few miles and one where someone else took the initial depreciation, I will probably pull the trigger. They are great cars. Best if used mostly on the track.

I'm with Randy. When the 997 GT3 comes out, and depreciates, I would look at it as a possible replacement for my 98 Cabriolet. (Replacement only because the wife would kill me if I bought yet another car 
)
The price would have to be in the $50k range for me to make the trade.

I have indeed spent some time thinking about a GT3 since running with one at the last DE. Being able to drive one could answer questions. Is it the car for me...I don't know yet but its being considered. I do like the fact that it is exclusive in production numbers. The market will play itself out and it may be a great bargin as far as water coolers. IMO its the best of the 996 breed.

As much as I love my C4S, the 2004/05 GT3 is the only car I'd switch it for. I love the pure performance factor that a GT3 has to offer. Ideally, I'd love to have both cars!

Noel also has a 993 C4S. I would not trade my 993TT for a 996 GT3. However, as others have said, I certainly would consider adding the GT3. In the end, I will probably wait on the 997 GT3.
Life is good when there is no such thing as a "wrong" choice.

Interesting Q? Over here we got the 2000/01 GT3 and they are now CHEAPER than an average TT - like sub $150K. The 04's are also on their way down too and recently a buddy of mine bought a 993 RSCS and after a few weeks decided to trade the GT3!!!! He also said he wishes he never sold his first RSCS but hindsight is 20/20 - always!!!
I love the TT and also use the RS for track days and tarmac rallies...... The RS is a different beast altogehter tho.....
The answer for me = no - but thats just my opinion..... FWIW (not much really
)

"No, not anytime soon. What would I replace it with?"
i am not sure what the purpose of this poll is...it seems like it is a silly attempt at boosting your ego (don't you wish you could have a toy as cool as mine, or something like that...)
oh, and in answer to your question: Carrera GT...are you waiting for the CGT prices to drop? if so, at what price are you gonna make the trade?

Sorry but my track car might be an Elise and I'm (desperately) trying to save up for an F355 as a weekend fun car (while keeping the 993 if possible). The F-car is contingent on their making amends for last weekend (yes, I'm in the pro-Michelin, anti-Max Mosley, anti-Ferrari camp).
