Why such a massive price jump from the 996 GT3 ? I was thinking $100K. At $130K I don't think they sell many at all. Many of the premium cars are selling for about what the previous models are (MBZ, BMW, etc.) or a small premium.

If you consider that a C2S with the X51 (381HP) is about $100, it's not hard to imagine the GT3 (400+HP?) being 20% more than that, or about $120 to $125.

not true because the 996 X51 package plus the car was more than or just as much as a base GT3 it all depends on what you option... but a GT3 will be no more than 110K base... my bet...

If the 2005 brand new GT3 was 100,000 K why would they up the price 25K more just for a redesigned model?


I'm having a hard time deciding what to get when my lease is up...
save money and buy a used 911S with alotta good options or buy a brand new GT3 with only the must have options.

I only plan to track the car 3 or 4 times a year. I wanna use the car mostly for daily driving but i don;t really wanna compramise this time when i buy a car like i did when i bought the 987 instead of a 997.

That is what I meant: $110K base to $130K loaded. But this is only a guess based on the 997S price.

i would go with a GT3 based on the facts of pure driving pleasure!!! right now the 997S is the closest thing to a GT3 but it is still no GT3... when the 400hp beast comes out it will be a whole lot of fun!!! you live in Vancouver so no worries about snow... even in Toronto unless there is snow on the ground i drive my cars with Traction OFF!!! trust me GT3 is the way to go...

I Drive my 987 like a porsche should be driven. A 911 GT3 would be so much fun around the public commute wouldnt it?

haha spoken like a true porsche junkie!

I Also think the 911 GT3 is %100 pure porsche and anything less would be a little too comfortable. But Im still debating since I could save a nice wad of cash with buying a used 997S which they'll be a nice selection in a year when my 987 lease is up.

The 996 GT3's base price is already $100k... It's not hard to imagine that the 997 GT3's base price jump to $110k-$120k with a new design, engine and technology from a car... Don't forget about the options too.
