Ha--you're dead wrong. Made too many--you can't even find one hardly

Sure Speciale - twice the price (plus I'd wait for new engines coming later this year).

And if GT3 aren't hard enough to find, good luck on getting your hands on a RS

As has been mentioned, both are very different cars. The viceral qualities of the GT3 are hard to replace and IMO cannot be matched by the TTS.

I'd keep the GT3. I am blown away by mine.

Try get an RS allocation.

Re depreciation... all of these cars should not be bought as investments. They fuel one's "joie de vivre"!

"Made too many"... really?

The GT3's at are listed there are not really for sale. All cars, even those that are customer ordered cars are automatically posted there. Call the dealerships to finds out and they will confirm that, there's been a long thread on RL about this.

How so? Total in U.S. is just over 1000 units so far for both '14 & '15 model years, which is more than 50% of the total production. The 2014 model year consisted of 785 units worldwide with around 430 units for the U.S. Numbers are on par with past years.

As stated, most of the units on Autotrader are customer ordered cars. Many dealers show those cars as inventory until papers are signed.

That said, of course they will depreciate...they're cars. This GT3 should hold value similar to past generations.

You obviously don't know how cars.com works. 98% of any GT3's are sold already--but show in dealer inventory until person completes paperwork. Just call around and see how many you find...

Now if you're looking for a TTs there are tons of those available for purchase...oh I see you have one already.

Turbo all the way!

I am biased towards your TT's color combination, however, your real issue is with options and drive ability. The GT3 is a tool-- and a great one at that!--but it cannot do all of the things a Turbo can do. Do yourself a favor and get an after market exhaust for your Turbo, and the aural playing field levels a bit more.

GT# owners are thinking a GT# without track time is a terrible waste!

Obviously you haven't driven a '15 GT3.

Enjoy the Turbo.

I don't believe they made too many. Maybe you know the production numbers that you could share?

Like you, I know what I wanted and I got it.

This thread has already veered off course as folks talk about value and rarity which are meaningless for his dilemma.

The owner of this thread wants to hear why he should keep his GT3 over his Turbo, and now I want to hear what you will tell him

Fair point.

To me it all depends on what the OP wants. If it is power, comfort, greater ride height/approach angle/daily drivability then the Turbo wins. If it is about track prowess, better sound, sharper handling, looks and a more visceral and direct connection to the road then the GT3 wins. I was more interested in the former set of qualities so I went for the TTS.
