Would selling my .1 GT3 and getting a GT4 be a downgrade?

gearing will have a fix, I'm not as worried about that.
I have the same decision to make, .2RS vs GT4.
A 997 and a Cayman could not be different. It took me a couple years to get comfortable with my RS. They are one of the more difficult modern cars to drive at the edge. Learning to deal with its flaws and leverage its strengths is something you could make a HPDE career out of, or at least long for once you've taken the time to master. I may keep both, but I really don't have the room. Tough 1st world decisions.

I thought about buying a GT4 prior to my 997.1 GT3 and I'm glad I went with the purchase I did. My plan is to buy a 964 C2 sometime down the road for my DD if the prices don't sky rocket ahead of my GT3...

Ran with a few GT4s this past weekend. Gorgeous looking car but very unimpressive performance. It wasn't even close. Keep the GT3... I don't see the GT4 appreciating unless they build a low volume stripper GT4RS

I recently sold my 2007 gt3. Was enjoying my 2015 991 GT3 too much. 8 track days so far. Have order in but no allocation for a GR GT4 at msrp where I bought my 991 gt3 also at msrp.

Wasn't close because of driver or car? Most good drivers in a Camry can give a GT3 driver a run for their money.

PCA club race weekend running black. All pretty good drivers I would think. The guys I've talked to with GT4 seat time said the GT4 is super easy to drive but lacks power.

This is true,the GT4 indeed lacks power. It has 385HP,while the 997 GT3.1 has 415HP,the 997 GT3 RS.1 has 435HP. The 997 GT3.2 has 435HP,while the RS version has 450HP. The 991 GT3 trumps them all with 475HP. These are facts,no denying...the GT4 lacks power.
