I'm thinking about selling my 996 in order to buy a 997.1 rs or a .2 non rs.

I'm aware of people's views on both cars and I have driven both. I'm looking for the opinions of people that have made the switch.

It will be a pleasure car with light track duty. About 10 days/year, give or take.

What do you guys think?

Nice car. What were your impressions (relative) among the 3 versions of the GT3?

Dell will be here in 1... 2... 3 ...

(I believe he has a write up on the 997 GT3 forum discussing just your question)

I would regret selling your "white 6gt3" bigtime!!! Mike

Beautiful 6-3.You're in the wrong place then.

Agreed. On both counts..

Moved to the 7 forum.

FWIW & IMHO, keep that 6 unless you can buy a clean 7.2 RS or a 4.0.

Holy jesus, that's gotta be one of the cleanest 6's I've ever seem. What a beautiful car!

Great looking car!

I sold my 996 GT3 to get a 997 GT3 RS 4.0. That is a decision I don't regret but I did love the 6 GT3. It was a great car that I never got tired of driving. The only way I would sell your car is if I was buying a 997.2 GT3 RS.

I only regret not going sooner

The more contemporary they are, the more compliant and more powerful they get. I loved the feel and engine of the 7.2. I love the looks of the rs though. Like everyone says, the 6 is a bit stiff for the streets.

The performance the 6 offers at its price point can't be matched though.

Thanks. Appreciate the advice as well. Unfortunately, neither of those are realistic for me.

Thanks.

Nice upgrade.. Appreciate the advice as well.

If you can't upgrade to at least a 7.2GT3/RS then stay where you are. IMHO of course.

Do I regret selling my 6-3? Absolutely ever day I think about it. Is it a better car than my 7-3? Only in one aspect.....on the track in stock for stock form. I have no doubt though if I got rid of that crap *** PASM system and replaced with an analog system (linear spring and some dampers from Lex) then it would shine above the 6. WIth that said, the 7-3 in stock form is not enjoyable on track for an experienced driver with that pain in the **** nanny constantly thinking she knows best over undulating tarmac. Wrong.

The only STOCK car I would get rid of mine for is a 7RS and I'm not going to do that as I think the 7.1 in Carrara White with the modern taco wing is one of the most beautiful cars ever to come out of Stuttgart. I would merely add to the stable at this point. But I'm not in a position to do anything like that right now as I'm building a garage with an attached house.

The 7-3 does however beat the 6-3 in stock form when it comes to driving to coffee on the weekend

buying a 2010 gt3.2 was the best car buying decision I've ever made. . . .i love this thing

Keep the 6. Pricing for the 7s are a bit nutty right now, and your 6 is quite nice.
