I made the "mistake" of driving a GT3 recently! I am a proud owner of an 2008 Targa C4S, but I had never driven the GT3, now I dont know if I will ever be happy with my 4S again!

I was blown away with the throttle response and the total setup of the car! I can't imagine how people can grow tired of driving the GT3 daily due to the stiffer setup, dicey traction in the rain, etc....I am in LOVE!!!

Now I have to decide if I am going to keep my car or start looking for a GT3. To everyone with a GT3, I am very jealous!!! Enjoy them for what they are: a total beast of a "drivers" car!

All the best!

I hear ya.

A GT3 is like crack cocaine, but in the form of metal, plastic, leather, and rubber...

 

Yep, did the same thing......

I now have a gt3......best car ever made

 

LOL, I never even drove a Porsche, I only a ride in an '07 RS back in early '08.

I ordered the non existing next RS and bought a '07GT3 to carry me over.

 

Yep, that's how I ended up with a GT3. Then I made the mistake of driving a GT2 to "get it out of my system". Now I own both. Good luck, let us know when you buy, because it's happening.

 

Aren't you glad you did?!?!!!

 

I did the same thing...plan in place for purchase within the next 18 months or so.

 

I'm transitioning over with Mike. Buddies are really on me to go 2010 GT3 though......

 

Been there, done that. I took a test drive in a GT3 just to see what all the hype was about. Within a week I had traded in the Cayman S and the GT3 was in the garage.

 

I am afraid you're right! That car has totally gotten under my skin...I have already started searching dealer pre-owned inventory to see if I might be able to work out a trade/swap on a slightly older GT3. Oh, and my wife officially thinks I'm crazy at this point.

These cars just get into your soul...

 

Last week I test drove a 2010 GT3, on Sunday I test drove the same car again, and today, Wednesday, a white 2010 GT3 is sitting in my garage.

You might as well get it over with and just get the GT3. As the Borgs say: Resistance is futile!

 

Not many out there preowned in DFW. PP had a couple but they are gone. I hate to rag on you, but a C4S is nothing compared to a GT3. I concur that the GT3 in any form is the best car ever made. PP has 2 brand new white one's and they will make a good deal. I've seen em both. GT3 is KING.

 

next mistake will be to try a track prepped 2000lbs 197x custom fitted tub with a custom 400hp+ engine in it.
in my mechanic`s shop he builds right now a car like this - severely trimmed 1974 tub with cut off front replaced with tubular cage, car will be 2k lbs something and he will put 600+ hp twin-turboed motor into it. this sh$t never stops until you have any money left in your pocket, so, it is imperative to set some very hard limits on this stuff.

 

Just be glad you didn't drive a new GT3RS.

 

The Cayman S is a great car with a loyal following but it just doesn't compare to the GT3. Glad you like the GT3, it's a different beast than Cayman S, much better IMHO.

I do prefer my Spyder for street use, the GT3 is a track car for me. The GT3 is very much at home on a road coarse, tracking the car is also very addictive and nearly as expensive as a drug habit.
