for me, it's hard to engage seriously on this one

anyhow...
i agree with you , i loved the GT3 but complain back then
i think i'm the issue not the cars , i'm always thinking on the next car
and forgetting enjoy the moment.
the 991 GT3 it's a fantastic car but i think the older GT3 or 991 GT3 with manual might be more engaging to drive for me.

i can think about cars all day
and check cars websites like:

, my wife complains about that a lot
i need a treatment , LOL

RS7
WRX
AMG?
i like ranking also

that's good that you know Houston bad road , so you understand what i meant.

i have family car
i need new car only for my self , i don't need it to be big/practical
2 seats are perfectly fine also.
i'm driving around 10 miles per day , it's nothing.

AMG can be a very good idea
C63 Black edition if i will find one at no crazy high price
i love this car. amazing NA V8 engine.

There was an awesome 507 edition C63 saloon in the classifieds not too long ago. I think it could still be available. May be worth going a few pages back especially given your car ADD.

Enjoy all in good health!

Found the link.... There is also a beautiful CLK Black. I have always loved those too!

The CLK63 is a glorious underappreciated car. The sound is awesome and it performs to boot. Look up Phiberglass in the classifieds. Its a silver beauty.

Good luck on your search!

I really like my 7MT Targa GTS, very different to other 991s and I ordered it as a garage mate to my 991 RS. Very different car than the GT cars. I think it is the sweet spot for the 991 as a true grand tourer and the 981 is better suited to track duty.

I find sports sedans boring pretty quickly and can't connect to them emotionally. I also hate anything bigger than the Macan.

i feel exactly like you , i like to drive hard even if i'm going to buy a milk
any car i tried in the past weight over 3500LB i couldn't enjoy it.
the Macan Turbo it's the best SUV i ever drove
but it's still an SUV , i feel the weight in any turn.

i'm really confused , not sure what path to go
fun car to enjoy everyday VS comfy ride with powerful engine.

With a 675LT in the garage I would choose the latter. Gives you a dichotomy of experience. As they say variety is the spice of life...

Soon enough I will be DD driving a rental car according to some. ����
If your new Shelby is a rental car than so is the 911 GT3 (rent it on the ring).

sometimes i feel bad that i have weekend car and i enjoy driving only on the weekend (not even every weekend)

i thought about 2 options:

1. to get Used , low mileage 991 Carrera S , 2012-2014
this model can be a daily car and i will have some of the GT3 that
i missing. after all , the GT3 based of this car.

2. C63 S coupe , V8 sound and great engine
as far as i know it's better daily car then M4 for example.
kind of mixed of comfort and performance.

what do think?

I have the answer!

991 GT3.

Its just like the 911 but better. Its cheap (dont need to pay over MSRP these days). It work as a DD (I do) but gives you reliability, practicality and the sporty feeling you were after......
