Default GT3RS Should i replace it?




Seeking people opinions ! . Hi so i lived in the Uk currently own a 911.2 GT3RS , before i say anything i bought this car for two months now rarely went on track and mostly just drive around town . I am 22 years old and this is my first supercar i bought so i am basically a newbie . Hence , i am seeking for people opinion ,the contender of gt3rs is the huracan performante as its have similar value in the Uk . My concern is should i replace my gt3rs with the huracan performante as of its V10 , wow supecar factor ?. I am basically looking to keep the car long and i couldnt choose between performante and gt3rs when i decided to bought a porsche and now performante is at the back of my head . What are your opinions ? Thank you so much .

You said you want a long term keeper. If you want a car to look at in the garage, go Lamborghini. If you actually want a "sports car" that can be driven daily then keep the RS. The gt3 RS is more practical than a Lamborghini, cost of ownership will be cheaper. Be happy with what you have.

Um...young man, why not get a Ferrari?? That will attract even more attention when you driving around the town.

The old saying is "the grass is greener on the other side." It is a slippery slope, cars, women, etc. You think you have the hottest chick in the UK and the next thing you know, you aren't so sure. So you move on to the next...and the cycle repeats. I agree with 0 to 60. Be happy with the amazing car you have and consider yourself fortunate that you have such an amazing car at such a young age. When I was 22, I did not have a car. I got my first car in medical school, in 1998, when I was 24. It was may family's beat up 1985 Chrysler minivan that had saggy ceiling liner and windows that had to be held up with a folded piece of paper. Not exactly the chick magnet that your RS is. I hope you enjoy your car, whichever way you end up going!

OP. I am 24 and I was thinking the same thing. I will be trading my gt3 for a huracan at some point in the near future. The 911 is a great car, just isn't that flashy for the price.

My business partner's son is 23-24 years old and can't understand my obsession with Porsches. He just went all-in and bought a Huracan with 40k miles that had been smoked in (with NOS and donut videos online) so I would say go Lambo if you're a young single guy and adding to your lady count is a top priority (as mine was at that age).

Keep the RS if you love driving cars.
