About to Pull The Trigger on a 997.2 GT3
2010. Loaded, but early enough that it has no DEM (which I think I can cope with). 250 miles. $115k. Would be a daily driver.
I have a 996 Turbo S now. It's sublime. Love the torque.
Talk me out of it.

Have fun!!! Nothing like a GT3. But buy mine 2010 Meteor Grey with 5k miles and D.E.M!

Would never talk you out of it (I had a 6 TT also). Nothing like a NA engine at high revs, lightness, and feel of GT cars. Just be aware that you can get a used RS for a few thou more if you're patient.

I have not done it yet myself, but I'm pretty certain you can retrofit the DEM. The plug dongles are zip tied on the L/R side of the fenders near the factory mounts. This is on the "to do" list for me.
Oh yeah - DOOOO IT!!!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the nudges. It's a really tough decision. I love my Turbo S.
Yeah, I know I can get an RS, but I'm finding it very challenging to find sensible all-around tires for year-round use that fit the standard rims. And no, I don't want to be messing with changing the rims or tires just to accommodate rain. I want tires that work ok in the rain, like Corsas.

u will have same tire issues with non RS.
what year turbo S you got?
if it's pre 2005, it doesnt feel more torquey then 2010 gt3.

You'll love the GT3. I personally dont find it a suitable DD (but to eaches own). If you're in a 996TTS as a DD now, you'll probably be fine. I prefer a big quiet tank (GL550) on the commute

My TTS is a 2005, and it's chipped. Quite torquey. I've driven a 2010 GT3, and while I love it, definitely not as torquey. I know I'll miss it.
