Default Best GT3?

Guys,

993 purist here, but I love your cars! Cant stop thinking about them!

I have a semi-redundant question: is there any particular iteration of the 997 GT3 that stands out as one with least recalls/deficiencies? Perhaps the most reliable? And please don't mention the 4.0. That thing is an unattainable unicorn

Thanks


Leon

That's easy.

It's the 996 GT3 Mk1, completely stock.

Not the best in any particular category, definitely the slowest of them all but, a truly remarkable driving experience nevertheless.

A personal favorite and the top car on my down-to-earth-cars-to-buy list.

John, why confuse? Just move this to the appropriate 'electronically aided' Forum...

Seriously, tho, any GT3 is a good ride - even the new one i bet .

OP, it comes down to this: How fast do you want to go and how much of that speed do you want to be the sole cause of/reason for?

Universal Theorem: "Cup Cars are White, and they are the fastest. Therefore, white cars are faster than all other colors."

Everybody knows that...
