I think the 997 GT3 is beautiful. Is it just me?

Thanks Mark! I'm addicted, I can't leave. I don't think the air cooled era is over for me. Eventually I'd like to pick up another 993. That car was just too nice to drive a lot when considering mileage vs. depreciation at this point.

Joe,

Totally out of garage space (6 cars, 4 slots). Definately out of $$$$$. Absolutely out of good graces with the wifey. Thus divorce.

Somehow this car going down the road just took my breath away. I thought with my 993 Ruf BTR I would not have roving eyes again. I am frankly quite surprised.

Does anyone else find the 997 GT3 a stunning looker?

CP
Strongly agree....!! The 997GT3 is simply on another planet compared to the standard 997/S platform. The strength and elasticity of the motor is simply unbelievable.

Dissenting vote here?
While I believe that all 911's are wonderful....I'll stick with the 993 and, in particular, any widebody version. I am not real fond of the "wing" on the back of the GT3. Silly me, I guess.

not silly, to each their own... in fact, i have had MANY people say that our 993 widebody NA cars are missing exactly that... some spoiler or wing. They say that the car looks unbalanced without something back there...so there are many different opinions on the spoiler/wing issue

Pong,

I saw a midnight blue 997 GT3 drive past my house a few weeks ago and my mouth dropped. Absolutely stunning!

The GT3 wing does look goofy, much like the 996 GT3 MK1 taco wing. Must switch to RS wing.

Scott,

If i had a second choice, I think it would be white. It looks great in white. But not with those red wheels!

I hear ya. I totally agree with you on the Wing. I have to go with the RS wing also. But I'd have to go with the red wheels. Cobalt blue would work for me on the wheels.

I have too many car mag subscriptions and then I go out and buy the ones I don't subscribe to. I have to throw them away at a regular pace. But I've kept every issue with a 997 GT3 article, picture, reference, or whatever.

A 2007 GT3-dream car.
