I have lusted after a Noble for awhile now.

Last week I found a M12 GTO 3R for sale not too far from me.

I went out there prepared to buy it.

However, I was a tad underwhelmed with the performance in just about every category. On the positive side, the build quality was better than expected.

So I gues the only thing left to do now is to look for a GT3 in SoCal.

Do you know of any?

 

Nope but you should definitely get a 996 GT3. They are unbelievably awesome, but i'm a little bias.

Didnt you have a 7 GT3?

 

dont do the Noble so i am told .... several guys have said the same to me when i considered buying one

 

Yes. Most fun car I ever owned.

Some say that the 996 GT3 is even more fun.

Now I'm not sure if I should get a 996 or 997 GT3.

 

I am so glad I got to drive one locally before I bought one. Saved me from making a mistake.

Now I can only assume that people who buy Nobles have most likely never driven a GT3.

 

Nobles are pretty easy to modify for more power. Ive driven a few and was pretty happy with the power. Quicker than the 996 GT3 straight line. I would say get the Noble, do simple mods, and have a blast.

 

996 Gt3

 

I know this is blasphemy but the Viper ACR is really perking my interest lately and I am going out to see one this weekend

 

What happened?

 

nobles breaks often.
all the one's i see on track are broken or overheated by afternoon.
GT3, you just drive.

if you li ke to drive, get gt3
if you like to fix things, buy noble.

 

no question, GT3....

 

996 gt3

 

Please pm me or post your thoughts on the ACR...

to OP:

GT3 > Noble

 

996 gt3 if you really want one of the most fun porsches produced in the last 20 years...

 

GT3, for all of the obvious reasons!
