Me.
Its the noise, the speed, the looks and the track capability.
Its also difficult to replace by anything that significantly betters it - so why change?

If I didn't get the itch to go racing I would have NEVER let my baby go. Instead, she would have sat in the garage getting never driven so I sold her. I do NOT regret it since racing is exactly what I thought it would be and more but I sure miss my baby terribly

Amen. Mine is here for the long haul. I could not get an original 1973 RS 2.7 soon enough in my lifetime but when the GT3 came into the picture I did not miss the opportunity. Mine is here for good.

yes, forever! I've been driving Porsches since 1968 and this one is the best yet. I love it on the street and love it more on the track. We do have good roads in Nevada (smooth and traffic-free)

I would love to keep mine for many many years to come but need to find some work soon to help facilitate this.
If anyone needs some professional photography done let me know please.
I shoot everything from product, food, to people and fashion.

p.s. I really love my car.

Ordered mine just the way I wanted it. Was going to sell it to get an RS(hasn't happened yet) either way, my wife said DO NOT SELL IT. Looking forward to taking Euro Del. on the next RS but will be keeping the GT3 for a loooong time.

I'm in for the long term. My prediction is that it will become a classic and it makes a perfect track car as it starts out with all the right stuff.
