I have driven a AMV8 and it is a nice car for all the reasons already mentioned. However, would not swap for my 6 GT3. When prices come more in line would like to add to current stable and enjoy each for their unique attributes.
Seeing how nice your TT is (Nice BBS wheels btw), if you have the flexibility could you keep your TT and add a AMV8? This should satisfy you for awhile.

 

im in santa clara until 8pm.. then after that back to fremont perhaps just come by SR on saturday...

 

Sounds good.

 

AM Vantage=the looker
GT3=the booker

 

Hey CarNerd....I'm pretty close to you...My office is in Pinole and Orinda. I can give you a looksee and a ride. And perhaps a quick test drive.

 

Sounds great! Thank you! Let me know what works best for you. I pretty much make my own schedule so i can meet you anytime.

 

I have a great friend who owned a 996tt and traded up to a GT3RS. He said the experience was night and day. He was bored by the 996 tt and discovered that it was not the right car for him and the 997Gt3 was his kind of car. Only jeremy Clarkson would pick the Vantage over a GT3.

Will be interesting to know what you decide after the drive/ride.

 

 

Did I see your car on Grand Ave in Oakland near Safeway(Piedmont)?

 

i am looking for a GT3 also! but seems like all the good condition ones on autotrader are over $120k! i would rather pay a little more for a GT3RS

 

You would have to pay 160K+ to get one.

 

i've only seen a few $160k and those were only for black with oranges or silver with orange. the main colors like signal green, orange and white are at a premium about $170k+

 

Hi Kevin...I'm pretty close to Piedmont Ave, however I have not been there recently. Where do you live? Perhaps I'll see you at some track event.

Ed from Orinda.

 

if a GT3 is about 120-130, 160 for a RS is not so bad!
its a whole different car!, but i can only find dealers that were selling them for around 200k!

 

Um... I wouldnt go that far... RS owners correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe most of what you're paying for can be summed up in a sunroof delete, stock single mass LWFW, CF rear wing, plastic rear window and decklid (which constitute a rough 50lb weight savings) and a 2 inch wider rear. Other than that your just paying for the prestige that comes with the name.
