I don't know why 991 GT3 owners have a huge urgency to "prove" themselves.
Running across town to let everyone know what they have and why and why it's better.
My personal opinion, the 991 gt3 is a joke. I have ZERO interest in that car. Does not appeal to me. Nor MOST of the owners. It's no secret where 997gt3 owners went. Go look at the GT4 section.
Every generation of PORSCHE is better than the last generation...period ,regardless of your feelings or the model you prefer.
If you daily a 997TT nothing to worry about. 99.9% of the population don't know the difference between a GT3 & TT. Just know your the lucky dude with a Porsh
I have my 997.1 TT MT as my daily booster. If the 997.2 GT3 RS is better than my Mezger TT, I want one. But what will I do with my 991 GT3?
If you can swing it I would sell the turbo and get a 997rs.
991gt3 is amazing as a DD and a beast at the track. For weekend fun drives and occasional track you have the 997rs. Best out of two worlds.
Turbo will be forgotten in no time.
It's not intimidating it's just slower and worse performance. You wanna go slower do it. But don't say manual is better
If that is the criteria, then Nismo GTR might be a better car and you have spare change as well. I think most who talk about driving a car with a manual transmission and fewer/no nannies are interested in driver involvement and skill. I'm not saying there is a right or wrong, but they are certainly different.

With turbo, its my DD, and nobody races me. Its just a porscha.
Besides being my only manual and my kids love it wheni put the top down.
I originally bought a 2010 997.2 RS and sold it after 18 months as I wanted other cars. Then I was lucky enough to purchase another one again 12 months ago.
Now that I own a 997.2 RS and 991 RS I have had the opportunity to compare them very closely.
IMO the 997.2 RS is all about pure steering feel, unbelievable sound especially with a Sharkwerks bypass and of course 3 pedals and a stick.
The 991 RS has a vague centre in the steering and the sound is synthesized Vs guttural, mechanical and raw.
If I had 1 car to drive on a mountain pass it would be the 997.2 RS.
If I need to go to the city, then there is no way I would drive the 997.2 RS.
