True, but I have my gt4 for a raw car. I'm hoping for a 997 gt3 as a daily driver. I've read too many scary reviews about the back end biting. I'm not one to rely on electronics entirely but it's peace of mind to have them.
997 GT3 is more "refined" - that's the word I was looking for.

the gt4 is much more refined than a 997 GT3. Gt3 is purer, rawer and miles more engaging.
I have a BNIB oil pressure sender unit, which fits all 996 cars. These things fail in 996 cars often, resulting in a 'no oil pressure' dash warning when in fact it's just the pressure sensor is bad. I never got around to replacing mine before I traded my 996 last summer.
Pair of 225/35/19 PS2's with ~70% tread left. Easily good for a season or a few track days. $100 for the pair, meet up in the GTA. No shipping. Pics of each tire's tread below
Also have a pair of 315/25/19 PS2's that are near the wear bars but easily have a track day or two left in them. Free to a local RL'er if anyone can make this weirdo tire size work for them.
Selling a complete set of Hawk ceramic ultra-low dust brake pads. They have just less than 4,000 easy street KM on them.
According to the Hawk website, these pads fit the following applications - but do your own due diligence please. I had them on my 997TT so they certainly fit that application
Not a sales pitch, but no reason to be scared. The 996 GT3 is incredibly communicative; it doesn't bite, really. Even in a car with driver aids, you shouldn't really be "engaging" them anyway. Yes, leave them on, but don't rely on them to drive the car for you.
The 997.1 has the aids but they can sometimes be intrusive. The 997.2 is better as they have pushed back the threshold a bit, so there is less chance of an unwanted intervention.
Yes, by all means go for the 997 GT3, but do it for the right reasons: It's a better rounded car; it's less raw and possibly more pleasant to live with on a day to day basis, but don't do it for the driver's aids. There is something special about the 996 GT3 however...
The 996 GT3 section is full of posts by guys that have sold their GT3's, regretted it, and purchased another (or the same one back).
The 996 and 997.1 GT3's are very close performance-wise. The gap widens as you move to the 997.2 and, of course, the 991 generation, but those are a lot of money and the limits are waaaay up there.
This is the best car to learn on! It will do nothing for you, but do everything you ask! You get to learn what it means to "feel" a car, to understand its behaviour and to become better. Learn how to drive with this!
