Thanks again guys.... I actually drive the Ferrari more than most. I don't want to be that "guy" that bought it for the garage. I reminds me of those that have car insurance but when they get in an accident they don't use their policy to cover


But I am driving the GT3 a lot currently. Its just so easy to drive, park, and do normal things in yet have a race car sound and performance.

 

Congrats Vic!

Just curious how you'd compare the GT3 vs. 991 Turbo S. What are the benefits of one over the other?

 

Quick thoughts and based on my ownership aka IMHO:

OEM comparos

Turbo S is faster and quicker straightline and more expensive (no dispute)
GT3 sounds much better
GT3 has the better driving experience
GT3 looks better (dont get mad Turbo boys, I have had 4 TT cars and this is just my call)
GT3 handles better
GT3 PDK S software is even more aggressive than the Turbo S
Turbo S has better interior amenities and creature comfort options (stereo, entry and drive, sunroof in glass, etc)


The Turbo S is a daily driver GT car that crushes the enemy. You can brutalize it over and over and still park at the mall and get groceries at the market. The GT3 is a race car for the street but is docile enough to be used daily and for commuter options.

 

How does the ride compare ? I am thinking about ordering a GT3 by the summer to add to the TTS , are they different enough or they are mostly the same ?

 

The ride of mine is shocking every time I get in it. Very firm but smooth and no harshness at all. I drove a friends 997.2 C4S back to back with mine and find that mine while firmer rides better. It's like the shocks are telepathic or something???


His 997 does some of the old Porsche bob and weave while mine is none existent.

 

The GT3 is definitely a more "taut" car but I use the stiff shock setting. With that being said its still comfortable on good roads and compliant on undulations and minor road imperfections. Where I live the roads are rather good so I dont have to worry too much. Ride feel is very subjective but the GT3 to me is great. Alot of it has to do with the spring rates which really are flexible in the right situations.

I dont think there are any more order slots for 2015 but I might be off.

 

Where i live we have no allocation problems , i can order a GT3 or a GT3RS even !

 

Lucky!!!
