The 997 GT3/RS Cars For Sale Thread...
12-07-2023, 05:43 PM
Good afternoon folks,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am in the market for a 997.2 turbo Manual or a 997.1 GT3. I currently have a 06 997 C4S manual that is currently being sold. I know between the 2 cars (turbo, gt3), they are completely different, but it's still hard to make a decision. The sound of the GT3 is amazing but the boost and comfort of the Turbo is amazing as well. I've driven both and still can't make a decision. Has anyone been at this decision point? Either car will not be my daily. Mostly driven on the weekends etc. Thanks!

My decision was easy as I had a decent amount of seat time in a PDK 997.2 Turbo and while it was great to drive, I'm not a speed guy, I'm more of a sound guy.
First time I drove a GT3, I knew that was the car for me.
Don't judge on infotainment as the 997.1 can have the PCCM+ CarPlay unit put in it.
No wrong choices though as both are amazing. I don't really care what the future value is of a Turbo vs a GT3. It's all about the enjoyment that I get out of it and I think the GT3 is really hard to beat.
One factor for me was the gearbox/shifter/clutch. I really liked how it felt in the GT3. I had driven a friends 997.1 Turbo manual and while it felt good, it wasn't as good as the GT3.

You’re going to have to possibly do coolant pipes and an overhaul on both if it hasn’t been done since they are both Mezger engines so not a huge difference there either.

Broad game plan was to hold my 7.2 til Spring '24, and start a hunt for a Pumpkin, or any Sharkwerks car (ideally a Pumpkin 3.9). But finding someone ready to part with a SW build is probably a long shot.
Love my car, but lusting after a Pumpkin . . .

Eagle eye! Thanks! I really shouldn't even be considering, but I nonetheless am.

Sold for 287 (292 with premium?)

Honestly surprised it went for as much as it did given how poorly prepared the seller was.

I honestly didn't see one imperfection with this GB.2RS. Just not presented in the best way but it's what I would consider a hidden gem. someone got a nice deal. Looks to be a well taken care of car.

2008 GT3. 4600 miles. Canadian car. Looks good and as represented. Will be curious if being a Canadian market example will hold it back, which seems to typically be the case. So hopefully a Canadian buyer can grab it. WP0AC29988S792133
