I understand where all you guys are coming from for sure. The older gt3 would be amazing, the new one would be even more amazing compared to my 996. 143k wow, second hand mark would be all I could do when I'm 80 I guess. But the early non assisted turbo is my next car , not soon, still working on turning my 996 into the best in can be. I agree he was playing with the car tossing it around, you can see him loading the front suspension with his tap break technique right before He tosses the car.

I feel the same If I had either one also. I'm about to drop big money on a suspension setup on my 996 that will sit in the garage, and go get milk occasionally,

Trail braking is important on any 911, but especially on a newer stock GT3. If you don't use the brake to rotate the rear end they will just push right through and not turn.
But if you want something you can throw into a corner, slide around, and have the computer do all of the small adjustments needed to get you through it, there is nothing more fun than a Cayman.

You can turn them off but the car is still going to be helping you some, but not as much. I drove a Cayman and a GT3 back to back at the Vegas Dream Racing track. My times were quicker in the GT3 but I came away in love with the Cayman.

Yeah I bet! Mid-engine would be hard to beat. I wouldn't mind a nanny that just keeps me from killing me or the car just not one that drives it for me. I remember the PCA magazine discussion on modern nannies made me sick to my stomach a little! Do you know what year the Cayman engine became less susceptible to modes of failure. Not sure about the 718 versions, but we'll see. I have to go to the dealer to get a new key programmed...so good time for test drives.

I have a 981S Cayman. Yes - you can turn the nannies off......but......
With nannies ON you can hang the rear out about 40+ degrees. With the nannies OFF - hang it out as much as you want until the front starts to drift. It won't let you slide both ends, and will turn itself back on. You can feel it dial down power until "order" is restored. Then you have to manually turn it off again.
