They are dramatically different cars, but for me the GT3 is the car I should have always owned. It may well be a long term keeper. (he says as he also has cars.com open on another tab)
How's the ride around town? I've read the GT3 is not for people like me who never tack a car and just enjoy it casually around town etc

My sights are set on a 991.1 GT3. Im hoping that after i enjoy my 997tt for another couple years the 991.1 GT3s will have gone way down in value, especially now that the new better one and the optional 6mt transmission are coming out this year.

That's a very sweet engine in that car, could be a nice alternative to the 991 TTS moving from the 997.2 TTS. Likely would attract a little more attention though than the Porsche...

I've been through the growing pains with every Porsche I've owned. I think we all do. But what finally made sense to me is that every newer car is an improvement, and there's always a newer one right around the corner(i.e. 992). You might have to wait on the new Turbo, but it will be a better one. Keep your car and wait to see what Porsche has in store for the future so you don't have to do it all over again in a few years.

Looking at selling my 997.2 this summer and placing an order for a new 2018 Turbo S this Fall if I can
get the allocation spot.

Hands down this is going to be my next car. 2010/2011 have come down in price. v10 r8 six speed. Such an awesome car.

But I would not get rid of my 997tt. I would miss this car way too much.

I never thought about an Audi but I can see the appeal. They are nice, especially in black. Here's a 2012 for $82,900. Seems like a decent deal at 26k mi.
