Get a 997 Turbo. That's what I just did to complement the "raw" GT3.

And this pic was posted by a "reviewer." I can tell you that isn't Bucks County PA!
And yet their Insta has this from yesterday. So confused Seems like shady cars on offer but still a real thing.

drove my friend’s .2 Turbo S a while back. We swapped cars on the way up to Alice for lunch. Good car but honestly not my thing. Maybe it’s the old school turbo spool or the slower PDK gearbox, or how it feels so similar but so different than my car at the same time. But it just didn’t do it for me. I definitely want a convertible tho. Maybe a Boxster GTS 4.0 or the Spyder?

Samwise: ...or try a GT2
On options...very personal choices. Speaking for me on .2:
- Leather: Nice but not mandatory. Never changed how I enjoyed the car
- Buckets: Must have. Changes the way the car feels; Easier to add sofa's too. I had both in my .2
- DEM: Nice but not mandatory. Drove both. I could feel them on track. They can be retrofit; the dongles are in the engine bay. I ended up not adding them.
- FAL: Avoid like the plague on a 997. Unreliable and insanely expensive to fix. Budget front lips instead.
- PCCB: A few years ago, I'd have said pass. After driving them extensively on 991's and 997's, I'm a convert. If you track, box them and replace with iron or go to aftermarket CC rotors.
At the end of the day, All the 997 GT's are fabulous to drive and options just sweeten the experience.

Man I've thought about it. But it would be along side the GT3. I could never give it up. The amount of power and torque from a GT3 is enough for my purposes, and if I want more my Alfa is so shockingly good I laugh out loud when I drive it. And while these cars are not cheap, I'm so satisfied compared to the days of owning Ferraris and stupid expensive AMG cars. This is my best automotive time ever.
Saw the nicest 997 turbo ever on BAT yesterday and thought there was time left but the clock on my browser didn't catch it was sold. 2009 in white, and a stunning build, in amazing condition w/ 17k miles Sold for $127k plus fees. BAT Turbo
This is the car at Kellymotorcars
