That’s saying something!!!

Chris Harris is likely the most respected auto journalist there is based not only on his knowledge but driving skill.

This is a HUGE feather in the 3.8 GT3RS’s hat. No doubt about it. None.

This is 10 years on too!

Wow. 👍

He couldn't actually afford it. It was well before he was making big bucks with BBC.

Exactly! It didn't make sense to me, now maybe if it was a gated 599... but still!

I like how he mentioned the 996 as one of his favorites too. But in the end, the car to get will be the 997. Limited numbers, mezger engine, hydraulic steering and no electronic add ins like rear wheel steering meaning true rear engine driving experience. And the current prices show that.

Not one regret and haven’t looked back. The best decision I made and the 991RS was awesome.

I think the best thing to do is to buy one of all of them. I'm a horder though.
