Find myself wanting a GT3

What's going on here... Anyone have experience with both 993 TT and GT3rs cars? Any help on keeping me sane would be appreciated. I have spent two years. Lots of blood sweat and tears on this 993 but am wanting a GT3 or 997tt in GT3 colors for some reason now? Am I Losing my mind?

Anyone interested in trade?

I frequently track with my friend who owns a modified 993TT. A well driven 993TT can be as fast as GT3/RS on the track. I've driven his TT and found it to be more raw, hence, more challenging to drive than my RS.

993TT is very collectible. Make sure you don't sell yours, just add GT3 to your collection. Skip any future Turbo purchase as long as you still have your 993TT. Good luck with your search.

Good plan. I think that's the best advice yet. Now I just convince the old lady how much better off we will be. Her personal favorite is the GT3. Mine is the 993TT. We just sold our 996 and I miss it. It was a very mint example. Very low mileage.

Maybe I will start out with a 996 GT3. See how things go from there.
