I have a 97 C4S with X51 package and am considering changing to GT3 (both 2007) .... will I notice the difference ?
I use the car as my daily driver .... and really like the 4WD but am keen to lower the milage (C4S has 30k / GT3 has 10k)
Thanks for the feedback

 

test gt3 first if its low sitting front lip will work for all your common routes. that is number 1 thing to think about.
power wise you may feel less torque in gt3 car in low rev section. all in all you need to try it first.

if your only intent is to get newer car for street daily driving only I would recommend to look at 997.2 GTS car instead of '07 gt3.

if you also intend to track that car at least 4-5 times a season by all means go with gt3.

 

Good advice

 

For daily, stick to Carrera. GT3 is an amazing car, but it's simply too loud, too low, to hard, less practical for the street. I know of a few who use it *sometimes* daily and love it, but they have multiple cars and switch.

If this is your only car, then I'd say no. If this is for tracking, then a STRONG YES, if it's weekend car, track sometimes then maybe.

Other option could be a newer Carrera if you like lower milage, but I'd say yours is pretty low anyways.

 

C2S owner with an aero kit installed here -- be afraid. It is endless stress navigating new places in the city waiting for the inevitable SCRAAAAPE.

This will be my last 911 with such a low front end.

 

C4S - built for the street and a occasional track
GT3 - built for the track and occasional street

stick with Carrera

 

+1, get an aerokit from Suncoast if you like the way the GT3 looks. The C4S will be much more tolerable for daily driving.

 

I rather have a 30k miles 2007 911 than a 10k miles 2007 GT3. I don't like cars that old with such low miles. These cars are not meant to sit around for too long.

 

You will notice the difference. I don't think a Gt3 makes a great DD. I think the GT3 is for track, back road carving, etc. Not ideal as a DD. You have a great 911 for street w X51 package. Keep it.

Now if you want to start tracking more and get more serious about that. GT3 is better.

 

Thank you for all your insightful comments ..... looks like I will stay with the C4S and "save" some $$
