Is your window down to hear the GT3? That's what I'd do.... Stance of your car is spot on. Great work!!

Beautiful! I prefer to be in FRONT of the GT3s!

Car still looks tremendous Kevin. Yours was what inspired me to go after one of these and it's been a summer of no regrets !

Thanks guys.

Yeah, weather was perfect. Sound of that GT3 was as well. This particular one had a bypass. All I can say is wow! I'm a big admirer of the 997 GT3. No match for the RUF in straight line performance, but it's definitely the real deal in every other category.

Marshy, post pics of your RUF!!

Patrick, this is unfortunately the only pic I have of me in front!!

Have you driven the 3.1 ? If so, how does she compare to the turbo R ?

No it's like a DE day, window open so he can let the GT3 driver know which side he will pass him on

kmy, awesome looking car. First time I have ever seen a centre exit exhaust on the 993, it works well.

Kevin,

What great cars! Yours in particular, but I also love the 997 GT3s. Dang it... your car is simply too nice.

Nice Geoff! Definitely know your car. She's a beauty!!

I've driven both the gen1 and gen2 997 GT3. They are fantastic cars. If you haven't driven them I highly recommend it. I love the instant throttle response and high revs. Totally different experience from our RUFs, but a blast to drive and IMO probably the closest "feel" to the air cooled porsches of any 997. Straight line performance is no comparison. The turbo R has much more grunt, torque, etc., but suspension, ride, brakes, steering feel, are all superior on the newer cars.

The car feels incredibly planted in the twisties and the grip is simply amazing. I also love the way the cars sound. Can't beat that NA exhaust note!

From a purely performance metric it's tough to beat modern technology, but I love the character of our 15 year old cars. So much more visceral than even the GT3s. To each his own.

I do know that if I sold the RUF, the only other 911 that you'd find in my garage would be a GT3 - Gen1, Gen2, RS, 4.0RS. I'd take any one!
