Looking for some advice...

Good evening everyone.

I am french and I live between London and french west coast.
I am a Porsche enthusiast since I am 12! the story of this long lasting love is really funny but not my topic here.

I drive on daily basis a Cayenne Turbo i bought new in 2007 and I LOVE IT!
But It is now time to add something in the garage. So as you can guess...when I love a car it is hard for me to get rid of it! For instance I kept my father's car preciously that is a studebaker champion starliner v8...

So I am thinking about the 997 because I really like this car and am not a big fan of the 991 renderings so far... Whatever; I was contemplating a turbo, a GTs and a GT3 RS.

My heart goes to the turbo for its performances and its poly-valence.

However I am contemplating several things :
The lack of "music"!
The collector effect.
The use of power on french roads.

I really like the sound of the GTS with a Scart Exhaust ( there is a 10min video on youtube where you and listen to the full range of sound of the gts with Scart,

‪997 GTS SCART RSTube‬‏ - YouTube

So in a long term though would you advise me with a turbo, gts or gt3rs. I don't care about comfort in the car. I am looking for feeling, handling, sound, pleasure. I will use it on motorway,town, secondary roads, and twice a year on track.

I thank you so much for existing. This forum is for me the best!

Thanks

Welcome to the TEAM! For the best experience you could possibly have in the 997 Series Porsche I'd always recommend a 997.2 GT3!

Welcome to the Team. I've got a turbo, but wholeheartedly agree with DJ, .2 GT3. Unless you need back seats for your little kids like I do. LOL

I will be sending a cease and desist letter for dilution of my name.

His name is redundant; therefore, no dilution possible.
