I know we're getting a little off topic but just wanted to add something that two friends who owned CGT's said independently. Their CGT's were A to A cars vs. A to B cars. Great for a driving experience but could not be used for traditional driving like any 997 could be. That does not detract from how great they are but limits the use. I likely will never have own a CGT but i'm a practical driver. I like cars that I can take anywhere without drama. That's a huge reason why I love the GT cars. To most, they are a 911 with a wing vs. what they really are.
I spent about 100 miles riding shotgun in one of my friend's cars and it is next level on sound and feel just from the passenger seat. I just prize usability more. Well there's that and price of entry

It's crazy to think that not all that long ago you could buy a CGT for the price that Merit is asking on the Aqua 997.2 GT3RS they currently have in inventory. I know a lot has happened between that time and the present day but it does boggle the mind a bit

FWIW, I will be 75 years old in two weeks. I've had 22 Porsches in my garage since 1973 and no, I am not a dealer and never have been or worked at one. I've had my current 997.1 GT3 for over 10 years and it has been by far, the very best of my Porsche bunch. I still do my own maintenance, I was an aircraft mechanic way back in my Army days, and I still enjoy doing everything possible myself.
With all that said, I've been wanting to mention what I belive will happen regarding 997 GT3's and GT3 RS' in the not-so-distant future, compared to the later and current 991,992 and later GT3/GT3RS.
I firmly believe that the 1999-2012 Porsche GT3/GT3RS models will be the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS of the future.
OK, that is just my opinion, but I do believe that it will happen someday.

Merit Partners has in this white/red .2 RS. 16k miles, PCCB, FAL, and full leather. Priced at $330k. $100k+ less than the other .2 RS’ (particularly the gray/gold and blue/gold) they have. Remember this was for sale a couple years ago it had on a set of BBS wheels. Unusual a 997 GT3 RS has all season tires on it as this one does.

I love the sunroof delete on the Red GT3 that BAT has.
