Yes - maybe further down the road the 991.2 gt3 -- I'm trying to pick something up within the next month or so.

It is the 997.2 gt3 I am considering. I agree - I am not very fond of the centerlocks, as I also like to usually switch out my wheels.

Which one is more of a 'raw' car out of the two?
997 GT3 is more raw and connected … perhaps best steering available on par with Lotus and McLaren

In my opinion 997.2 GT3 by far the best. I had owned a brand new 2016 991.1 GT3 and decided to sell it after five years because it’s too many available. Lost $60K. There were only 2,256 units produced on the 997.2 GT3. You need to test drive it to appreciate the rawness of it. The instructors at Porsche Driving Experience also told me to keep the 997 GT3 vs 991/992 GT3. I’ve also driven the GT4 on track and still prefer the 997 GT3.

haven’t driven 997.2 RS, but even 997.1 was truly an amazing machine. Wish I have spare cash for that …
