Dilemma - Keep GT3 or Turbo
In regards to depreciation, if in reality you tend to keep cars like this only 5 months vs your theoretical 5 year plan, you are better off keeping the Turbo. The Turbo has already suffered the initial drop, the GT3 is still holding value, so at least for now you could get nearly all of your money back selling it. I have gone back and forth trying to decide which to buy. When I drove a GT3 for the first time on the street, I have to admit that I was underwhelmed by it's lack of low-midrange power and at times inconvenienced or disquieted by it's lack of ground clearance and harsher ride. Oddly comments on a recent Chris Harris video mentioned the same sense of being underwhelmed on the street. It's on the track that this car really shines and can be all it can be. I do track my car, but only 1-2 times per year, probably not enough to live with the GT3's compromises the other 99% of the time. I may end up concluding I like the idea of the GT3 better than I would the reality of it as a daily driver. Another back to back comparison is coming up, and then the final decision.
I haven't driven either in 991 chassis but last summer I got the opportunity to drive both a 997.2 GT3 RS and Turbo S in the same weekend. Both cars couldn't be more different. I personally enjoyed the GT3 more because I love the raw feel of the car. I will say the large power increase in the Turbo made it incredible fun to drive and a bit easier as well. From reading your posts I think you'd enjoy the Turbo more because it is a bit more of a GT car. You honestly can't go wrong with either car. Again this is based on the previous chassis. I've yet to get to drive a 991 chassis car.
