****! i want rear wheel steering and dynamic engine mounts too!
guess i'll just take my car & another 140k and get them.

what a car. whew.

 

For me, GT3. But only because I plan on keeping my 997TT or building my GT-R for more HP then keeping it instead (still deciding). A 991TT would be too similar to my other turbo cars for me to want it, but IMO the GT3 will perfectly complement my other cars. I also don't love the looks of the new turbo, but think the GT3 is the best looking 911 Porsche has ever produced.

Now, if I could only have one, and I planned on using it as a daily or driving it often, 991TT for sure.

With regard to the acceleration comparison that some people have brought up, the 991TT or TTS will crap all over the 991 GT3 in a straight line from any speed, all day long. No comparison.

 

got the same idea, thinking of holding to my 997.1 tt for future mods and get a rear wheel drive 991 gt3. i love the looks and aggression of the gt3 + the donut mode will be some thing very entertaining

 

It would appear that the tts on semi slicks will be as fast or faster around the ring than the GT3 which will come with semi slicks as standard.

 

GT3 for me. Although it would be better if it didn't come with bling 20" wheels and center locking hubs.

I prefer a N/A engine and have no need for AWD.

Both are street cars. The new GT3 will be even more of a street car than the 997 versions were.

 

After specing my TTS allocation I decided to keep my 997.2 TTS and order a GT3. With a decent list of options I was over $200K. I can't wrap my head around any 911 over $200K, and decided the GT3 offers better value. All the good parts, better looks to my eye, more fun at 9,000 rpm. I think I have the best of both worlds now.

I don't blame Porsche for trying, but I think the TTS over $200,000 is a stretch. It'll be interesting to see how they sell. I got the impression at my dealer that others feel the same way.

 

Eh, sign of the times. People said the same thing about the 'Vette (ZR-1), Audi R8, and now the GT-R (all being over $100k).

They've all turned out well.

It's no Phaeton. lol!

 

 

I'm currently debating an '11 GT2RS or the '14 GT3. What do you guys think?

 

Me? That's incredibly easy - '14 GT3. Not even close.

I believe it will come down to - which transmission do you want? And if you prefer the manual, how slow (by comparison) are you willing to go because of it?

 

Im with you on this, cant wait to get my 991 GT3 in September.

 

GT3, sounding very mean

 

It's kind of an unfair test for the GT3. Most powerful 911s do 80+ in 2nd gear, so if you're going for maximum acceleration you'd be using 2nd for 50-70 mph. Same with 130-150 (irrelevant on US roads) where you should be in 5th and not 6th.

I don't think it's a surprise that the turbocharged car with more mid-range torque will beat the highly strung car that needs to be revved out in these scenarios. I'm not saying the GT3 will be faster either, just that it'll be closer than these tests would indicate.

 

GT3 - I think its the driver's car of the entire Porsche lineup (sans new Cayman).
I'm sure TT/TTS nice but GT3 is the pick of the Porsche lot.
Love the looks, performance and all around track/street cred.

 

I like the GT3 hands down in this comparison but when I try to spec one...even with not many options,..it will be well over 150K easily. Maybe it's just me but once I pass that number it becomes hard not to consider a slightly used Mclaren mp4-12c instead for just under 200k. A different league!
