That's simplistic.
I turned down an allocation of a 997.1 GT3 for the 996 because of its purity. It's more difficult to drive. That's part of the appeal. I'm driving the car. No computer is helping me (other than ABS).
I know a few other guys who have loads of $$$ that feel the same way.
The 997.1 GT3 is a better all around car than the 996 GT3. No question.
I guess it depends what you are looking for.

Down the road I'll either be driving an RS variant or much more likely keeping my current car and it'll be stripped to reduce as much weight as possible and it'll spend a few weeks with Sharky for a 3.9 update. 500 ponies in a lighter than normal 6-GT3 sounds like the next "logical" step. Easy to sell to the wife too:
"Dear, I can either spend $75K on an upgrade to a GT3 RS or spend $25K at Sharkwerks."

black car did 1:37 either on khumo or mpsc wit moton CS. the rest are just safety and pads. i am fairly certain that he could have done 1:37 without the moton.

Just gotta get some house renos done first before I drop another $25K into the car. It's all about balance.
