I agree. This whole website is for pontificating with other like minded individuals. Personally, I would rather have the older GT3. I do understand why someone would pick the new Cayman though. I am getting a new Spyder, but luckily I can keep my other cars. Spyder mainly for wife.

im weary of what he is NOT saying
u sound like an old fart , like me
im not as smart as u
o had three gt4 total 30k miles then I decoded
meh. but of course i
have new gt4 coming just so i can say a year later ... MEH.
too rationalized. trust me 997 is cheaper than gt4
u will agree in a few more years
oh I heard some
say gt4 lighter clutch to live day to day. porsche has not made a car with heacy clutch since 356. actually 356 has easy clutch too. if one finds gt3 clutch heavy...
1. goto gym for a leg day
2. pls buy pdk
one reason i dislike 991rs and gt4 was the clutch being way too light.

The title is a joke right?
The same was said when 991 gt3 came out
The same was said when the 991 gt3 rs came out
The same was said when the 991 R came out
The same was said when the 991.2! Gt3 came out with 6 speed!
The same was said when then 991.2 gt3 rs came out
The same was said when the 991.2 Touring (but still lacking rear seats) came out
And yes the same was said when the gt4 (current) came out
When you are done adding up all the cars above for sale currently I think you will have your answer.

Thats pretty funny. I kept hearing how heavy the clutch is on the 997 GT3. My buddy has a 997.2 GT3 with lots of shark works stuff on it for the track. He warned me as well when I drive it for the first time. I was like “wtf, this clutch isn’t that heavy, why does everyone always say that?” I guess I have driven enough sports cars and race cars from the late 80s til present but if anything I like the slightly more stiff feel, better modulation and engagement feel. If anything, i didn’t even notice it until he said something about it and I quickly forgot about it again. I am use to riding dirt bikes, racing shifter karts, etc, so perhaps I drive such a variety of vehicles that my brain just adapts? Idk, it’s simply not a big deal and if it is, go buy a freakin base (nonS) 992 in PDK (aka “Panamera coupe”).

My original clutch was very very heavy. I can't tell if it gradually became heavy or was it like that since new since I only had the car for a year. I replaced the clutch and now it's just a tad bit heavier than most cars I know. I am guessing that many cars had the clutch replaced and the "heavy" problem went away for many.
