I'm sure this has been done to death already, but for those who have owned both (or own both), which is the more exciting drive -- 430 Scud or a 997.2 GT3(RS)?

I put RS in parentheses because right now I'm on the fence between a few cars (I'm in this mode roughly every six months, but I've seen prices drop quite a bit on the FCar side lately)...

430 Scud --> I see priced between $180 - $230K+ but I see most of those sitting a LONG time.

GT3RS --> I see a wide range of prices but they overlap at the lower end of the Scud pricing

I realize "regular" GT3s are a bit more affordable used, but I'm trying to get an allocation for the 991.2 (manual) and have not dismissed a standard 997 GT3 either.

So, a bit all over the place.

I welcome all input. I would almost certainly have to trade in my manual 997.2 4s. I don't want to part with it but cannot justify sinking that much cash into a weekend car.

Use will be 99% back road / weekend driving. Probably 3k miles / year. Will have a separate car for the track. I'd love to track a Scud or GT3 and realize that is where they belong, but can't fathom tracking a $150K+ car at this point in my life.

Creature comforts don't matter. I don't need to listen to the radio and 99% of my current 911 driving involves windows down listening to the exhaust note and rowing through the gears. Realize Scuds are flappy paddle...

Thanks all!

 

buy the fiat, [ut 5000 miles on it in 3 months, sell it.
buy RS and keep it forever.

Solid advice from mooty as always.

 

Had the Scud for a couple years but now have a 997.2 rs. Glad I had a chance to experience the Scud...super visceral, even at street speed. RS is a better track car and I believe it to be more robust. Do what mooty says
